Ok so here's the challenge and the reasons I need your help. I have a ~$400 budget. I have never, ever, ever, even attempted building legos before. (SLIGHT Exaggeration.) I'm trying to build a computer solely for the purpose of botting WoW accounts. This means I'll be running several (hopefully) instances of WoW on the lowest settings possible 24/7. Ideally the computer would be left on all day, every day. I have a monitor and all the input devices, I just need the computer. I plan on having some of my computer building friends to help me put it together. Additionally, I want to be able to monitor and control the computer from other computers, as with my line of work I can be gone for a few weeks.
Keep in mind that I've never done anything of this sort before. The people at Glider (WoW Botting Community) gave me a few general guidelines, but didn't exactly help that much. Heres what I've come up with so far off of newegg. Feel free to completely disregard this entire list and create a new one, or advise me on what to change about the list. If I'm missing an entire category here, like wireless adapters for my wireless internet connection or something, please speak up. I've listed everything I thought I needed but I definitely know this list could be improved/missing something.

Oh, and I just thought this case looked a bit cool for the price + it got decent reviews. I can totally forget the cool factor in favor of price/compatibility/heat factor.
