I've heard that the motherboard should be the best out there, especially for OC, so I guess it's quite good.

Please give me some feedback on this system and tell me what you think.

Thanks,

The best motherboard for overclocking is Abit IC7-MAX3.. Not MAX2 Advance..
And the GFX card would i personally buy from leadtek.
The ram you have chosen is okay, but i would choose Crucial Ballistix. They have better timings and they costs less money than Geil ram.
The new power supply from Chill-Innovation is much better. There is cable sleeving on ALL cables and the supply is VERY stable.

- and i dont like the cabinet. Hehe.

That was a lot, but I don't think I'm going to change it. I've heard that the MAX3 is more unstable and such than MAX2 Advance. I saw a comparison about overclocking with MAX3 and MAX2 Advance, the MAX2 won.

I don't know about the video card, but I'll take a look at leadtek.

I just hooked Crucial Ballistix ram up at edbpriser.dk and it's about 2 times more expensive, so no Crucial Ballistix ram to me.

I took a look at the new powersupply from Chill and hmm... I must say that I better like the NorthQ one. I'm not sure the Chill is prepared for P4 or not, but it's not going to be that one. And in the NorthQ there's blue light :p

Have you other cases to recommend for under 1000DKK with window? I really like this one cause i know it's quality and I've read a lot of testes and all of the testes is giving 95% and up, or 4½ star out of 5. So this is a really good case, but I'm very interested in what you think is better.

That should be all.

Can you find that MAX2 Advance vs. MAX3 test, again to me.?! :)

I don't like that case because i think that there is too much "geil" in the front.
It looks like a thing from the outer space. Hehe.
If you're looking at a tower i can only recommend ONE case.
That is Coolermaster Stacker. There isn't window in it, but you can buy a caseside to the case specially for this case.
It costs 1149,- DKK, but then you're using your money on a VERY good case in quality.

*Off topic*
Sorry for my english spelling right now, but i have been on work in 4 hours today, on a garden centre, where im planting onions :S

I can't find the test right now, but I'll let you know.

I like the case, cause I'm gonna mod t is case a lot, and i don't have 1000+ to spend on a case.

I, and the plant center should appriciate that, don't work with plants, I design websites. Just earned $600 :p
 
Yeah. I have designet websites before but i get stock for idea's and it begins to be VERY boring.
But i've earned about $1500 - $1800 for ALL the websites i ever had made.
Thats a lot of money.

And if you want to mod by yourself people would give you respect if you also made the window by yourself :)
