Re: OT: New PC!
Whisper power supplies are amazingly good, I was suitably impressed with how quiet they actually are. As Thermy mentioned get a quiet processor fan, the graphics card not too loud and a nice 120mm case fan. Throw in a quiet power supply and job's a good 'un.
Customs duty can be an unpleasent surprise when it kicks in, there are various threshold beneath which it doesn't apply. Not being an expert on Irish duty I have no idea if it's the same there, but I'd imagine it's at least similar.
The US is 110v 60Hz while Europe has allegedly standardise on 220v 50Hz. I'm pretty sure Ireland has dropped down from 240v to the European standard. Regardless a US spec power supply wouldn't be happy in Ireland.
