I had posted some questions on a different thread searching for a good case - and had several good suggestions from the community. Here is what I actually built. Knowing that this was for my brother in order for him to run his business (Quickbooks), cretaed PDF's, do e-mails, store digital photos / videos, handle an incoming fax line, etc, it was really meant to look sort of cool, and be able to last for at least 5 years- maybe longer (hard to really know) - any comments?

Purchased everything locally - MicroCenter really has some pretty good deals, especially with MOBO/CPU combos.
If it wasn't for that hard drive cost (dang flooding in Thailand!) , this would have been very reasonable.
