I'm trying to keep the price low. Is there anything I'm missing besides a mouse and keyboard? Is there anything I'm overlooking? Anything I should change? Do I need another fan for the case?

Hey kurosh, that DVD-ROM drive is a beigie. You want black, right? Speaking of which, I've seen people saying that the SLK3700BQE is worth the little price bump for the quietness features, AND it's actually black too. Or there's the Sonata, with that nice TruePower380, but that's another price bump.

If you're going to use the onboard audio, then the Albatron board that has the VIA Envy24 hardware-accelerated 8-channel audio might be another one to think about. Also, you don't seem to have a Windows license/CD on there, so don't forget that if you're going to need one.

I'm wanting that same monitor myself, when I can afford it.

Colors don't bother me. The case closes up on the drives anyway so you can't see them. I will never EVER EVER pay for windows.

Are you going to run an alternate OS or did you have, mmm, other plans?

 

[kurosh]

No... I'm planning on running win2k

get a a64 amd 3200+ so u can get that 1mb cache L2 dudeeeee

edit: oops nevermind didnt realize u had it =x sorry

The case you want has a $15 shipping charge. If NewEgg doesn't combine shipping costs, you'll end up paying ~$82. FYI: Amazon has the black version for $81 and free shipping. Also, the Sonata have been on sale a lot and you may be able to score one for much less than $100. Whichever case you end up with, be sure to buy a fan grill for that 12cm fan in the back! It's too easy to poke a finger in it, or even a stray cable or wire!
