If you dont need any drives except 1 HD and 1 DVD, IMO that case is overkill in both size and price
I've got a PCI graphics card sitting around that I'm going to try first. Eventually, I'll set up a terabyte Raid 5 in the machine, but for now it'll store data on a NAS Raid system I have.
Incidentally, I wound up with a different (and more expensive) setup:
1 x ($219.99) CPU INTEL|C2Q Q9400 2.66G 775 45N R
1 x ($169.99) MB ASUS INTER P5E X38 775 RETAIL
1 x ($99.99) MS WIN VISTA HM PREM SP1 64BIT 1PK% - OEM $99.99
Scott, unfortunately I read your post after I placed the order so it looks like I know what I'll be doing next weekend.
1 x ($59.99) PSU TT|W0100RU 500W RT - Retail $59.99
1 x ($29.99) CASE ROSEWILL|R222-P-BK RT - Retail $29.99
1 x ($59.99) HD 500G|WD WD5001AALS % - OEM $59.99
1 x ($31.99) CPUCOOLER|ARCTIC P4|ACFZ7-PRO R - Retail $31.99
I picked up 4 gig of RAM for $89 from another source.
