    I like every thing but the case...you have all top of the line parts yet skip out on the case. The big con for me on that case is the cable management....it has some but limited. I do like Thermaltake and I'm getting the Overseer RX new version. It has better air flow options and excellent cable management options, plus nice grommet covers/sleeves.

    It's on sale now....

    ThermalTake VN700M1W2N Overseer RX-I Full Tower Gaming Case - ATX, Micro-ATX, Extend ATX, 3 Ext 5.25, 1 Ext 3.5, 5 Int 3.5, 2x 200mm LED Fans, 1x 120mm Fan, 2 USB 3.0, 2 USB 2.0, 1 eSATA, Window at TigerDirect.com

    Yeah... that was one concern, but this is going to be for future expansions as well. trying to keep things light where I can. I was planning on getting a better full tower later, but was trying to keep case to about $50 for right now...

    Might just go with one I had picked out previously:

    Newegg.com - Rosewill THOR V2 Gaming ATX Full Tower Computer Case, support up to E-ATX / XL-ATX, come with Four Fans - 1 x Front Red LED 230mm Fan, 1 x Top 230mm Fan, 1 x Side 230mm Fan, 1 x Rear 140mm Fan

    I am Trying to keep under $1000 and win7 puts me over that with the current list ~$1120 +tax (hoping wifey doesn't notice )

    I know what you mean with the wife....they just don't understand why we have to have this part, that case, new mobo....I get it all the time. I just flip on my wife with her shoes, clothes and makeup....that usually shuts her up, if only for just a little awhile...LOL.

    Think that case might be too big for my needs. i think i am going with the Blackhawk instead. mid-tower and still pretty big

    Not bad....basic, simple yet very functional and plenty of vents. I think you'll be much happier with the Rosewill case.

    My first after market cpu cooler was a Zalman 120mm. Only problem I had with mine was that it laid flat and covered up all my RAM slots. It was my first build. I had no clue what I was doing....lol
