your top links are to stores - now they look american/canadian, however it may be safer to just change them to the manufacturers just in case. KPC is a store here in the UK

Might be a silly question but why? Surely if you want a decent HTPC rig then you want it silent and would be more likely to under rather than over clock it ??

When i say HTPC i hardly mean ill be using it for that. the only HTPC ill be using this for is for movies and videos mostly.
