Please tell me I'm sane?

* Before freaking out, please realize that all these prices are in CANADIAN dollars *

I'm so itching to get a P4 1.8 Northwood, but that isn't my current problem.. I'm also itching for a Lian Li PC65 case - the one that is aluminum, thumb screws, removeable MB tray, USB panel on front, akrylic side-window.. However, as you know, the price for such as case is HIGH and it doesn't even come with a PS.. So, these are the cases and prices I'm looking at:

Antec SX830 /w Antec 300W PS: $135.00

Lian Li PC65 /w Enermax 350W Whisper PS: $360.00

Am I nut if I got for the Lian Li/Enermax combo..? Yah, the difference would be $225.00! I've been having a REALLY hard time making up my mind, but I know I'm going to buy something this week so please guide me through the path to sanity..

Thanks.

That really depends on how big of a geek you are. If you shop around you can get the case & ps for $300.

I went for the Lian Li, and many others have too. They're oh so sexy. Is it really worth it? In a practical sense, not really, but some of us just want the best...

You might feel bad about the money before hand but trust me when the case arrives it will all disappear

Hehe Do you have that much extra to spare right now?

Weigh the pros and cons.
Antec - nice case, heavier, less money, no usb hub.
Lian LI- aluminum, window, light, ALOT more money, usb hub, sweet lookin case.

I would have a hard choice deciding. I would think about components that I need/want, and after I get all that I can comfortably want and still have money left over, I'll get a better looking case. I can mod my case with a dremel and put more fans in it and sell that if I want sometime and then get a better case, but a lighter case isn't a priority right now for me.

You are very sane! Now don't ask me to lie to you again!

If you have the money, buy it. I wouldn't, but I don't care what you buy.
