Ok, I have to ask. My specs, ready to order. (Almost)

[AMDThunder]

After more than a little bit of research etc., here's what I'm thinking.

Asus P5N-SLI
C2D E6300
Corsair Value Select 2 X 1GB 667
eVGA 7950 GT 512MB
WD 160GB 7200 8MB Cache SATA
LiteOn Comb drive

One of two case scenarios. I know which case I like, just deciding whether to get the one with the PSU in it or not.
Aspire X-Cruiser no PSU
Aspire 520W PSU
Or this one with PSU
Aspire X-Cruiser w/ PSU

Buying the case with the PSU saves me about $60 with shipping. 420W with 18A on the 12V rail. 35A on the 12V rail on the 520W psu. 35A is way more than enough, but I think I'm ok with the 420W with my set up. I know everyone wants there system spec'd, so thanks for your input.

Total cost = $993.26 + about $32 for shipping.

I may or may not OC. If I do, I'll probably add a liquid cooling solution in the future.

Dont even attempt to try that 18A on the 12v

go with the 35A unquestionably.

fine thing ya got though.

Thanks! I was a little worried about the 420W psu.

After even MORE looking around on newegg, I think I've decided to go with a Raidmax instead. I like the look of the Aspire better, but considering it'll be in my room with just me and my wife to ogle it, I think this is better.

Raidmax Smilodon

500W psu. Just rying to verify the amps on the 12V rail.

Hmmm, 420W with 18A on a rail comes out to (lemme get my calculator),
23.333333333333333VDC.
But since the source voltage is only a constant 12VDC and the maximum wattage is rated 420W (not including surge), the formula reverses and goes like this:420W/12VDC=35A
Remember that Voltage and Current are inversely proportional when calculating Wattage.
If the Wattage stays the same and the Current increases then the Voltage decreases and versa-visa.....my head hurts now, OWWWWWEEEEE

I was interested in the X-Cruiser, also.

Found this article: anandtech case review

They featured a lot of different cases in that price range.

One case I really drooled over is the Aerocool ExtremEngine 3T.

(I finally went with the Coolermaster Stacker 830, but that's a considerably pricer case.)
