Actually, the case looks dull, can upgrade to COOLERMASTER HAF 932 FULL TOWER BLACK GAMING PC CASE for a total of £1113 inc VAT and Delivery

Well, that would mean getting a second hard drive, not sure its worthwhile

after the problems my mate Jason has just had with recoving his PC after a crash with Raid 1 i'd seriously question if its worth it.

Upgrade the CPU cooler. The Intel reference one is naff and noisy.
What are your upgrade options?

Could go SUPER QUIET 22dBA TRIPLE COPPER HEATPIPE CPU COOLER (£19). Can change it to others, but starts adding quite a bit.

I've changed the case since this quote too.
