Overall ok, except PSU.
CM Extreme series has high failure rate and bad efficiency, u can option for a better PSU and grab the valued and reliable like FSP Hexa 500W RM149 only.
Would suggest get other brands for 2TB HDD, as WD Green will be slightly slower if u plan to use it as a boot drive.
eg. Seagate one has 7200rpm.

Thanks. I've totally missed the hard disk speed.

For PSU, is there any other suggestion? I don't see FSP in any of my reference price list.. Is Aerocool Strike X good?

Not so good from what i read from a review: http://www.kitguru.net/components/power-su...w-psu-review/6/
But this is for 800w model, not sure the others ok or not.

Other brand may consider Xigmatek Tauro 500W RM199. You can get FSP Hexa 500W from Garage / Lelong sellers easily. Cheapest i seen so far is CastleIT from lelong, RM137 only. I get mine from him with RM16+ postage to Sarawak reach in 2 days only.

Where's your location btw?

I found IPmart is selling. Including shipping will be around RM164. Since it allows credit card payment I'll just get from there. I'm in Penang btw.
