I'm not scared of Clocker. That was me saying, "Clocker, come help." :lol:

$260 for a case with no power supply??? How does that fit into any reasonable budget?

I never said it was economical.

the 6300 wins. standard benches/performance may be on par, but in the long run the 6300 will oc @ least another 700mhz and then just dominate that baby 945.

ok, i've misworded what i meant to say. what i was meaning is that the slot for the psu is to small and will cover up the top fan if u want to use that fan of course. if u don't want to use the fan then i'm sure ALL psu's will fit in it.

You definitely want the Core2Duo but the rest of that deal is crap.
Sorry, but you'll have to find another use for your old DDR/AGP stuff.

If necessary, save up till you can get the basic platform right...no sense crippling yourself from the outset.

Clocker is a member of fst staff, and very knowledgable on this type of stuff. ;)

I'm sure the real FST staff would be surprised to hear that.
I'm NOT a staff member, just an opinionated old fart.
