running Vista 64b for few months now for 2 VGA test stations, works nicely for what it's used

And what about the differences between Vista Home basic <-> Premium?
It seems a basic version should suffice for a gaming system? http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...s/default.aspx

How about this PSU:
http://www.ocztechnology.com/product...m_power_supply

Sure, it isn't modular, but I don't card thát much for it. It provides 600W (on 4 12V rails) and is almost half the price of the modXstream 500W. (about 34EUR)

Winner?

yep made that's a steal, I've build a few of these and they were back then ( a few months ago) over 80 euros

For the Windows most users go for the premium ( I ordered a basic 64 but even after 2 weeks it still hasn't arrived so I went for the 20 euro extra for the premium)

Go for it and build that pc

Would be nice if you could post some piccies of the final build

U heeft bij ons een bestelling staan voor een OCZ Powersupply StealthXStream 600W. Ik krijg zojuist van mijn leverancier door dat dit product End Of Life is.
Apperently, the StealthXstream is EOL? :(

Question: is it really? Because I think the price of 33EUR was a mistake and that now they try to avoid selling too cheap?


Anyway, guess it's back to the OCZ ModXStream 500W...

Well you still got 3 years of support if you buy it so why bother... this PSU was sold over 80 euro's a few months back... I have build several gaming rigs with this PSU last year and they are still going strong... for 33 euro's it's a steal :naughty:

Mmmh, you don't get it: they can't deliver the PSU:

Geachte,



U heeft bij ons een bestelling staan voor een OCZ Powersupply StealthXStream 600W. Ik krijg zojuist van mijn leverancier door dat dit product End Of Life is. Dit betekent dat het product niet meer geproduceerd wordt door of langdurig niet op voorraad is bij de fabrikant. Ik kan u dit product dus niet meer leveren. Wilt u switchen naar een ander product? Excuses voor het ongemak.


Met vriendelijke groet,
Note: OCZ website doesn't mention this PSU as EOL, so I guess it's bull from the webshop.

I suspect them to have removed their stock... they still sell these PSU's at eg alternate but at a higher price then 33 euro's...

EDIT : I talked to the shop owner of www.jaha.be : he still can order them for 58 euro's...

This is a very good product at a very good price.

So, recieved the parts this week.
Apart from the fact that the videocard had clearly been used before, I (and my brother :)) are very pleased with the system.
