Hello again !
Here's a quick summary of items added to our site this week...
In cases, we have stock of customisable Chieftec Extreme BX (http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/Kustom_PCs_Shop_Steel_ATX_Cases_2.html) Chassis. The conept here is that you can buy a silver or black case without the central fascia and then pick from a choice of coloured fascias to install in the case. This allows for a colour scheme of your choice, or you can buy an additional fascia to allow the theme of your case to be changed at a later date !
The Thermaltake Butterfly PSUs (http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/Kustom_PCs_Shop_Power_Supplies_ATX_7.html) are also now available - these have pre-braided cables and operate at very low noise levels. As a finishing touch they use internal LEDs which fade through different colours to create a neat display in the cooling fans. Also, we have a new MicroATX PSU (http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/Kustom_PCs_Shop_Power_Supplies_non_ATX_95.html) from Seasonic that uses a quiet 80mm fan and outputs 250w of power. Typically MicroATX PSUs were only available at up to 200w, so this is a useful addition for users who want a powerful system in a small box !

As always, we have some new case accessories - it's well worth checking out the new huge range of molex plugs and pins (http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/Kustom_PCs_Shop_Switches_and_Molex_66.html) that we carry (an ideal finishing touch to your internal wiring ) and also as an extra finishing touch UV SATA cables (http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/Kustom_PCs_Shop_Serial_ATA_91.html) are now stocked in 20cm lengths - this seemed a neat idea since hard disks and SATA ports are often both located towards the base of the case and 50cm cable can be overkill !
Due into stock in the next few days are a new series of displays from Matrix Orbital - based on the success of the MX2 series, the MX4 and MX5 use the same concept (an easy to install USB based display including LCDC software) but with 4 line LCD and 4 line VFDs respectively. Check them out
here (http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/Displays.html).

Other case related bits include new EL Wire (http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/Kustom_PCs_Shop_Neon_String_12.html) USB powered kits from Akasa , spare Side Panels (http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/Plain_Side_Panels.html) for Xaser Cases, and a selection of spare part / accessory kits for Lubic (http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/Kustom_PCs_Shop_Lubic___Test_Cases_105.html) cases.
Under the cooling category , you will find GlobalWin's easy to use 80mm Watercooling (http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/Kustom_PCs_Shop_Watercooling_70.html) kit, which we are reliably informed is ideal for Shuttle systems (see walibe.com (http://www.walibe.com/reviews-31.html) for a guide) , and some additional quiet 120mm Fans from Nexus (http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/Kustom_PCs_Shop_Case_Quiet_Fans_72.html) .

Last up, we have had a re-shuffle in the Optical drives section - firstly the BTC DVD-ROM has been replaced by the AOpen Chameleon which is good value DVD Drive that includes White, Silver and Black fascias. We also offer LiteOn's CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo drive, and the revised Pioneer A07XLA retail DVD-RW (with a funky bezel and chrome button!). Check out the Optical Drives section here (http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/Optical_Drives.html) . Pioneer and Sony DVD-RWs also dropped in price slightly this week.
We will be adding some more Altec Lansing Speakers to our range next week, but as a taster, check out their great new InMotion (http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/Kustom_PCs_Shop_Speakers_31.html) speakers. We know loads of you have Apple iPods , and these make a fantastic addition , allowing you to charge your iPod when mains power is used or can be run from batteries. The speaker set can even be folded close for ultra portability !
