ROFL, nice case...how many fans you got, lol.

That's not my computer, just what it can look like when it's finished. I'll have at least 4-5 when I build mine. I wanted to get comments on the case.

Would have gone for an Antec 900 or P180 case...
The cooling pwns on those cases. Better than that thing.

I like to see all the stuff in side...I only wanted to spend 100 ish on the case and the rest on the computer, kinda like building a car if you know what I mean.

i should also mention, a p180 is around that price too.. (£65, in america it's like $105 though) ..

I ended up going with this motherboard  ASUS P5N-E SLI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - OEM and I was wondering if all the stuff that goes in there has to be IDE or SATA I'm so confused. I'm lucky I'm having a friend build my computer because I would F- it all up... If anyone can tell me if any of the items that I'm buying won't work in my new computer let me know.....granted the hard drive and the disc drives are my main concern because I don't want to blow 150 bucks on stuff that won't have the right plugs from the power supply. I'm also buying a 20/24 pin adapter just in case because it's only 4 bucks..
