Building this PC to get SBCC - gonna be used as (well i don't actually know yet). This won't be my first custom build - but will be the first one I take pics of.

Ordered all of the bits and they all arrived today. I went straight ahead and shoved them all together. Im using an old Dell Dimension 3000 case until I can get a nice new one, but I set myself a budget of £140 an all the bits came out at £136 so until I have a need Im sticking with this case.
Specs are as follows:
Intel Celeron E3400 Dual Core CPU @ 2.6GHz
2 x 1GB Sticks of DDR2-800MHz Kingston RAM (Lifetime warranty yey)
LiteOn DVD Rewriter Drive
ASRock G31M-S R2.0 MOBO
ACE? 500W Power Supply Unit
500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM Drive
Put this all into the Dell Dimension Case - I was a bit annoyed as I only discovered today it had been partly sprayed gold ( I don't mind the gold paint - but it was very poorly done!)
Ive hooked this up to a RM 17" Monitor just for now.
I'm gonna add the pics of the boxes and printscreens now - as the system is turned on and I have to unplug it to open it :(

Opera is the king of reliability, according to Tom's Hardware... I do not know what evidence you have to support your claim. LOL the way you said it made me laugh... ;D
immental1200... Great choice on the Celeron. I have a Celeron E3200 which supports hardware virtualization (Intel VT-X) and which benchmarks just as good if not better than some of the Core 2 Duos and even the Phenom II X2s (with overclock from stock 2.4 GHz to 3.30 GHz I went up to 3.8 GHz once but my RAM was the limiting factor. Overclocks lunatic-style, just like the Athlon II X2 240 I have, which runs 3.71GHz 24/7)
I find it odd that hardware VT-X is not supported on the Pentium E5200...

Great benchmarks. Performs similarly to the C2D E8300.
