Yup, a real bummer! I'm going to get one of these debit cards tied into Visa( bank is associated with Visa). This eCheck thing sucks big time. mad

OK, after all my hassles with Paypal delays and having to order a proper PSU, it's all together now and working very nicely!! thumbsup CPU is at a comfy 37C @ no load, obviously the internet is working though I still have to fool around with the screen res as my 7600GT is not set at the right res for my 19" widescreen plus I still have to get the sound working but at least I'm finally up and running!smile

All I have left to do hardware wise is transfer the 2 SATA's from my older AMD X2 rig to which I'll transfer my real old PATA drives to and use it as a server and folder, add two fans since I want to fold on all 4 cores, for a total of 5 fans.

Only thing that I don't like is the noise coming from the stock Intel HSF as the rest is whisper quiet though when I load the CPU up I'm sure it'll be a tad noisier.smile

OK, so this is the final rig so no one has to hunt for the specs:

ASUS P5Q Pro
2X1GB Buffalo RAM, 5-5-5-15 IIRC w/heat spreaders
7600GT (for now, going to go for an 8800)
Antec Earthwatts 500W v2.2

BTW, I loaded XP using a really old 15" green CRT as I didn't want to start moving too much stuff. Aah, the bad old days! lol I'll post the pic later to tease the young'uns!tongue
