Computer Cases

The main advantage of Intel mobos is stablilty. They are VERY stable. Disadvantages are: performance, and lack of overclocking options. It's your choice. First off, you're gonna need a P4 power supply. If you've got cash, go with the Lian-Li PC70. Aluminum. Look also at the Antec 1040B, which is quite large, and black. Good Luck.

P.S. Why waste your money on a P4???

I would suggest an Athlon system. For similar performance, P4 system cost a lot more than an Athlon system.

That's right, but I just don't believe the stability issues. I haven't had a single problem that couldn't have been attributed to my OCing or Windows 9x. Athlon systems produce more heat, and so need louder fan to cool them. But Athlon systems can beat equivalent P4 systems by several hundred dollars, and as Matisaro says "The cash left in my pocket....The best benchmark".

how quiet is it? im about to buy a pc70 with enermax 550 watt supply... are the standard fans quiet?

if in doubt blame microsoft...

If the Antec SX-1040 is big enough for you I would go for that. There is a larger case from antec though if you really want a monster tower. Check their site for performance cases.
