Looks pretty good. Were you going to add a DVD burner later, or did you have one already??

Already got one

You would save about $10 if you went with the Antec 300 w/the 520w PSU. It's going for about $100 shipped!!

What are you on? Umm a $79 combo vs a $94 combo, how the heck do i save 10 bucks?

When I researched the prices, I ALWAYS INCLUDE SHIPPING CHARGES!! This way you can see any differences. Currently the combo has ~$16 shipping charges, which wasn't the case last night when I looked up the price. Now things have chaged today. So now there is a $15 difference between the 2 different Antec combo's.

Ah I see. Well I guess I'll go with the 300 anyways. The 200 may be $30 but the shipping is $20 and the 300 is $50 but I'm putting my money into a case, rather than paying for shipping. Anyways thanks for pointing that out.
