    Can't wait, i sold those Pentium 4's (3 of them) for a couple of hundred...

    Anyway i've just ordered:
    Biostar IDEQ 210M Barebones System - Intel P4
    AOpen DUW1608 Chameleon 16x DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter
    Western Digital Caviar Special Edition 80GB 800JD SATA 8MB Cache

    &

    Zalman ZM-80D-HP Silent VGA Dual-Heatpipe Cooler
    Zalman ZM-OP1 Optional Fan Package for ZM80-HP Series
    Crucial 1GB (2x512MB) DDR PC4000 Ballistix Dual Channel Kit

    The first 3 listed are for my Dad, i havn't told him but i'm going to build him his own PC to save me having to give him my rig to use whilst i'm away :) (he only max plays C&C: Generals & Red Alert 2:

    His spec system will be:
    Pentium 4 "Prescott" 3.0GHz 800MHz FSB 1MB Cache
    Biostar IDEQ 210M Barebones System - Intel P4
    GeIL 512MB (2x256MB) PC4400 Ultra Platinum
    GeForce 4 MX 64MB Intergrated Graphics
    AOpen DUW1608 Chameleon 16x DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter
    Western Digital Caviar Special Edition 80GB 800JD SATA 8MB Cache
    1.44" Black Floppy Drive

    (of course this machine will be taking part in the z365 Folding Team - Perhaps slight overclocking is in order.. but im not sure being a Prescott - we'll c ;) )

    I've ordered myself:
    Zalman ZM-80D-HP Silent VGA Dual-Heatpipe Cooler
    Zalman ZM-OP1 Optional Fan Package for ZM80-HP Series
    Crucial 1GB (2x512MB) DDR PC4000 Ballistix Dual Channel Kit

    Those of you who know of me on the forums know that i'm abit of a freak about having a Silent / Well cooled PC, and the only thing making more than 20DB of noise in my case is my Retail HeatSink on my 6600GT, so i purchased this Zalman Silent VGA cooler (pictures below).

    I've also ordered the Crucial 1GB (2x512MB) DDR PC4000 Ballistix Kit, i don't "need" the extra 512MB, however as everyone knows its pretty much standard for running high spec games at high graphics, and it will help when i do video editing. - The Crucial is also capable of 2-2-2-5 Timings @ PC3200 :D so i'm looking forward to the slight performance boost.

    Anyway, here are some pictures of the stuff i've ordered (both for myself and for my good ol' Dad ;) ):

    4th one looks like a hell of a cooler. Did you already have a P4 lying around?

    I had 1 last P4, but the motherboard was shot and so was the PSU, so i through it all away except the Processor which i know works.

    *Edit, the Blue HeatSink is the HeatSink i'm using on my 6600GT, and the fan in the 4th picture is what will be conneted ontop of it.
