Well I clicked a button and these parts are winging their way. I went for the P400A (which arrived about an hour ago) as I didn't want RizZy having sleepless nights thinking his mind worked too much like mine. On the reviews where they say the metal is a bit flimsy I think they must have been tugging pretty hard at the least supported part of the back, it has a little give around the MB backplate area, but thats not a bad thing

The ram is coming from Italy..... But has a good rating on Amazon Marketplace and I have been notified it has been dispatched with TNT as the courier.

I think I'll order a 6 pipe Snowman and some GD900 thermal paste from Ali-express (as the Snowman has no pad or grease), then I'll have time to run it with stock cooler before it arrives. Then there is the question of single or dual fan, the dual fans seem to run off a single connector, but the single fan version does not look like it comes with additional clips for a second fan if needed, may go dual RGB one and split the cables, I have a dupont crimp tool and the extras knocking about.

But saying all that, I need to see what clearances I have after the NVME with the generous heatsink is installed, may have to go for a smaller Snowman with 6 pipes and twin stacks.


Edit: Just noticed the price of the Sabrent Rocket has gone up a lot, I got it at £180. Alexa just binged at me to let me know the other bits are on the van for delivery today.

I can make any PC last that long, in fact a lot longer, especially as I take the "Trigger's Broom" approach to computing.
