Building the beast - The Core 2 Duo (Part 1)

I recently decided to build a new PC and with some money that I had been saving for a good while I decided to take the plunge and build a new PC. So here's what I got for nine hundred sheets: -

• Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz
• 2GB DDR2 PC6400 Ram
• Zalman CNSP9700LED Cooler
• GeForce 7900 GS 256MB
• 250GB Samsung Sata drive
• Asus P5B Deluxe Wifi Motherboard
• Antec P180 Case
• Corsair HX 520W PSU
• Pioneer DVR-111DBK DVD writer

Check the size of the heatsink !

On this I'm running XP SP2 and it absolutley flies !!! :-)

Took a while to get it working mind (more on that in another post)
