The Antec 902 is fairly expensive for what you get. It's still a good case, but expensive to others that are just as good. Did you look at the HAF 922? If the dust filters are really important, you can generally buy some separately.

Is the Asus P6X58D Premium available? It has USB 3.0/SATA 6 GBps ports, so it's more future proof. It's generally a bit more expensive though.

I don't see an OS. Being a student, you should be able to get it for real cheap.

Other than those little things, it looks good.

First question to MadAdmiral-ARE dust filters important? Where I'm buying from the 902 is $1 more than the 922 without a side window. I would have chosen the P6X58D Premium, but Umart doesn't stock it, so it came down between the P6T and the P6T Deluxe V2 (which wasn't in stock ). I did pick up on the Windows 7 bargain, got the install file ready to go (also gettting a disk, for backup purposes in case PC crashes.) Is the Geil ram ok, seemed to be a bargain at the price it was at, imo.

The importance of dust filters depends. If you live somewhere dusty or infested with pet hair, it's more important. That said, here in the US, the HAF is usually at least $20 cheaper. Since there isn't really a difference, either is good.

If it's not there, your choice is fine.

Geil should be good.
