Excellent point about the case I would like to go full tower in case I want to expand my storage and need some extra 3.5" drive bays - the Phanteks ES614PTG is ~50 EUR less. Know of any decent cheaper full tower ATX cases?
3600 is an option - just like those higher clock speeds on the XT
hmm not a bad idea - I might just do that.
(Actually just moved to Germany from the UK last week for the bioinformatics job for which I’m building this system, so not my home country just yet!)
