Don't like the CoolerMaster cases (they seem to all come with PSU??). Also want 2 optical drives, just in case. Don't need SLI at all; No overclocking; Need reliability and decent speed for regular apps and recording audio and videos; Do not game at all.
Please tear this apart! Don't want to spend any more, though.
Have 21" Samsung LCD; wireless keyboard/mouse; D-Link 7 port powered USB HUB; Klipsch ProMedia 4.1"s; Wireless network.
