Moved to tech. Read the hw tweaking charter ffs, it's pretty damn simple.

Saruman

Or you could try this!

Better and cheaper option by well over €120, more ram etc etc...

forget about using your compaq case, seriously. The PSU wont run the new components and its just a pain in teh holeto change it out.

Get a new case, and that kit from komplett

pffff, if ya have to change the psu, don't bother getting a new case, its handy to change the psu. Take 5mins.
