I'm trying to finish this build by January and am beginning to buy parts.
The only thing I haven't decided on is the case. I was planning on overclocking
both my CPU to about 2.6 max.

I was looking at the Rosewill TU-155 and Centurion cases. I would appreciate any
recommendations.
Rosewill TU-155
Cooler Master Centurion


So far this is what I have planned out:

Opteron 146 $126
Epox EP-9npa Ultra $95
Crucial Ballistix $119
EVGA 7800 gtx from a friend $150
Xclio 450w $52.5
WD Caviar $82.99
NEC 16X ND-3540A $39.99
Case ??????
Logitech MX3100 $60
Total: $725.48

I gotta go for the Centurion. Tool-less install makes swapping easy, and the stock fans r very quite...

I'd go with the Rosewill man! It comes with a 400 watt PSU!! :D

Golly Gee! It's a better case too. Special made just for Newegg.


You've been Yankeed...;)

Yeah, go with the crappy PSU because it's cheap! Great idea.

Check out the thermaltake "soprano" with the clear side, In black of course!!
http://www.thermaltake.com/xaserCase/soprano/sopranomenu.htm
Some of the best fans ive seen in a case and you can cram a lot more in it too.
Ive got a set up with 3 x 90mm fans stacked ontop of each other suckin air in plus one of those neat pci slot dual fans (in neon) plus the 2 x 120mm fans that came with the case.
Tool-less racking and lockable side and front doors. $160 Au

well im not even considering using the power supply since im getting that xclio so an included ps isn't even a factor. They are also both tool-less.
Any other good options for below 60?

thermaltake soprano is a little out of my price range
