nice one cheers Joe!!!

i'm now just worried about the power thing, as the site is American, and i am English types, whether the power supply is gonna be different, i think i read that the comp' will be 12v, which would mean there is a transformer in there somewhere, but will all transformers regardless of the input voltage convert to 12v without any problems, or have i got to get a specific power supply,

can't think how to explain it so will just say this:

 English plug socket output is 240v, but i have a Wah-Wah pedel that requires 9v stablised, so a stablized transformer is needed to make sure i don't get a door stop (broken Wah-Wah) if i get a surge of power from the socket (sorry if i got the technical names wrong)

so does anyone know the key words or numbers i should look for that will tell me whether it is an American power-based power supply please? or if any of those parts would be reliant on American based power settings?

hope that makes sense to someone 'cause i don't know the right terminology here, but roughly know what i'm on about!! LOL

also does the CPU need it own little fan? and are any of those LED cases any good, other than for light shows, because they seem to come with plenty of fans in 'em, but i don't want a bunch of new problems because it has flashy lights coming out of it, i think the case i have picked above has one 12cm fan (not sure) is that gonna be enough?

Thanks again for any help!!
