PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Canada.
PARTS PREFERENCES: ATI/NVIDIA, AMD/INTEL, ASUS, Tyan, Supermirco, or any others that are just as good or better. Seagate HDD with the 5 years.(or better, i dislike the WD.)
basically good quality parts, garbage will not do.(unless it's dirt cheap then i will try it.)
OVERCLOCKING: If the board will support it then, yes. SLI OR CROSSFIRE: same thing.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: Depends on the LCD/video.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
i need a case that has 11 or better 5.25 bays and 2 or better 3.5 internal. Full tower is preferred but if it's meets my needs then i don't care.
Antec 1200 or CoolerMaster HAF 932 would be my top two choices. Do you really need to keep using 12 250GB hard drives? Even if you went to RAID arrays with 1TB drives, you'd only need 1/4 of the drives. You'd get better performance, and probably save a fair amount on your power bill if you keep your rig powered up all the time.
