There was a corsair all in one cooler on the cpu. A note said not cooling $75. I figured the case was worth that. I ended up building the computer in a smaller case and am still using it to this day. The 800D is stored outside in the shed.

i bought an E3-1230v2 at the same store about a month ago. so that needed the ddr3-12800 memory.
i have quite a few Q6600's that i needed ram. so that is what the ddr2-800 is for.
the hard drives are some future project.
