Look into Chieftech for a case.

I would suggest a good 350 watt power supply with 2 fans. 300 watt minimum for that setup. If you cheap out on your power supply your stability will suffer.

Get LiteOn 48x/12x/48x CD-RW. It supports Mount Rainier format. If you have a Mt. Rainier featured drive, you will be able to use Rewriteable CD's like floppy. Currently you have to use additional software (comes with CD-RW package, no need tospend extra money), but next version of windows will have support for Mt. Rainier format.

The 40X LiteOn and 48X LiteOn are physically identical. If you flash the 40X Liteon with the 48X LiteOn BIOS, you'll essentially have a perfectly working 48X Liteon with P-CAV and Mt. Rainier support as well as 48X write speeds.
