Yeah, the factor of the ageing of the system would make you want to upgrade. I get that.. I'd just wait at lease another 2m before I go sandy.. Due to the intel bug on the chips..
Yup, we are on the same boat then Luckily for me I found a good offer on a GTX460 1GB (105€) and didn't wait a second, lets see how much time the upgrade-bug stays quiet hehe.
Due to my other case, I'm not placing a single bay drive in the case, I went with what you pictured. I love the drive. it works like a charm. Just wish I didn't loose the cd that came with it.. lol.. I got PowerDVD, so there is no problem with that.. Just liked the software they gave with it..
Oh, you already have one? How is it? Noisy? Cute? I found it very pleasing as it stand vertically...just the same as the tower
