The annoying thing is, if you can stomach the branding, the products he endorses are usually pretty good versions of those models.

The magazine I read has a "where's Wendal" competition in every issue. He's quite a joke in the world of geek even!

If your surround amp uses the toslink connection - this might be better (and cheaper)

Dell use btx boards iirc so you'll need that form factor


Probably easier to get a new case, motherboard and processor at the same time and just swap the components over


SiPi, just got off the phone to Dell XPS Support and they've informed me that my XPS 600 can accept any ATX motherboard Cool

So instead of selling it i'm thinking of upgrading the internals.

Not sure what would be the best route as the Power Unit is 650w and i've also got everything else i need.
just a new board & CPU is all i'll need.

what you reckon?! (or anyone else who knows more than me about PC's)

i've gone with a retail box CPU cos my heasink etc will have to be changed because the housing ports are different.
or they look different to that ASUS board.
