Actually, the new machine came with dust filters and I thought nothing of it. One week later and there was a pile of stuff on them - amazing how much air these machines suck up nowadays!

Have two of those zalmans here already and dont find a problem with them,I find the stock intels noisy unless they have improved dramaticly over the last year or so.

Although,after comapring Dermots proposed build there and other stuff i have to add just might wander over to overclockers to put a price together,seems it might turn out cheaper than komplett.
