      "only" 1GB of RAM in a new build? That would be great for XP but looks like your running Vista- Vista likes a lot of RAM.

      I aim for 4GB at least (my laptop) and more if possible (8GB in my recent desktop build).

      You got the same case as me  :D

      I unplugged the fan and put in a quieter one at the back. It's great for a first build.
