You all talked me into it. I have a great big silent Antec P180B case, Pentium D 930, ASUS mobo and just passed POST. It was VERY difficult as both mobo's I tried didn't support the 930 out of the box. (I had to install an 830, update the BIOS, and put the 930 back in -- not obvious to me as this is my first home-build.) Now wish me luck with the software.
