The cpu comes with a dvd burner combo special, but I wasn't able to find the link. I found a better deal for the case; check the first link. I also recommend you check craigslist for better prices on windows and a hardrive. Lots of them are brand new for $20-50; be sure the windows is a sealed copy.
Total is $665 after rebates.
