That's a pretty nice case, kind of a poor man's Antec 900. I'll have to keep my eye on those. I have used Cooler Master cases in the past and have had positive experiences with them so I would say that's a good choice.

That's a case... Not a nice case with good airflow, but if you need a box to stuff things in, it'll do. I'd find the scratch for something like that 590.

go to your local computer store, fry's w/e and pick urself out a nice case. 100 or less is fine. id recommend a nice antec solo with two 92mm tri cool fans.

Might I also make a recommendation on the DVD and Video card. The Samsung 203B is a good drive. Great quality burns and a good price (just no Lightscribe. The 203N is the same w/ Lightscribe, but it's out of stock)

I also wouldn't recommend the XFX card. It doesn't have a fan controller, so it spins at 100%, which is REALLY loud. Check out this one by ECS. It's got a great cooler and is cheaper to boot.

I'm in the same boat. I'd spend $15 in gas just to drive to Best Buy, which charges way too much for cases most of the time...

I already got the 8800 gt in my xps im currently using atm and the DVD Drive i currently picked out isnt too bad... Im going to just keep the liteon one because this one got no cons from according to these people and the samsung one had someone where it couldnt read some of his disks.

This XFX really doesnt seem loud and the temps are like 60 degress celcius on load playing pretty demanding games like age of conan

Those are the wrong size. The case uses 120mm.
