Addronics 7890A tower case and Enermax EG-465PVE PSU.

Antec SX1040.

All the Antec cases are good.

I would add one 7volt'd 80mm Panaflo L1A case fan to the front, and one to the rear. You don't need an amazing level of circulation with the P4, as it doesn't produce a lot of heat. At stock or 2.1GHz, any case fans at all would be a waste, but I assume you intend to try for 2550-2650MHz.

i am in the same boat as TranceNation, only that i want to get a P4 1.8a w/ that Asus mobo, and am gunning for 2400 only, nothing more, nothing less

i just wanted to know if i could get away with it with one of those cases that come with a 300w power supply and cost no more than $65 shipped, like some of those Enlight and Inwin cases.

would 300w suffice for a P4 @ 2400 MHz, or would one need a stronger PSU to get that running?

The Antec is definitely good enough for budget range.

If you have high speed SCSI Ultra160, CDROM, CDRW, DVD, zip and tape drive, or thinking about them in the future, go with the Addtronics/Enermax.
