I am building a new system. So far I have acquired:
A-Bit VP6 MB
Intel FC-PGA 700E Coppermine chip (still need to get another)
Hedgehog alpha CPU fan
Plextor 12x10x32 CDR/CDRW
256 meg PC133 RAM
Soundblaster Platinum 5.1 Sound Card
3-Com 905B NIC
Still looking for:
Mid Tower case w/300-400W PS (this is where my dilema comes in)
ATI AIW Radeon 32 meg video card
Maxtor/Western Digital/IBM HDD 7200 20gig RPM ATA 100 compatible

Need advice and opinions from all of you out there on Anandtech. I have no clue what case to look for. Want something that will allow easy access to components for building system, (ie. drive rails), rounded corners on the interior of the case so as to decrease the amount of blood spilled while adding peripherals. Would also be nice to have a case that has a wrinig harness that allows for connection of all the headers to the MB and has a dis-connect higher up on the harness so that all the wires don't have to be connected and disconnected everytime I need to pull the MB out.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I would highly recommend the Antec SX830. I have it myself, and I love it. The quality is great, as is the cooling prowess of it.

IMHO, the Enlight 7237 gives you the most bang for the buck. It's reasonalby priced, well-built, roomy, and absolutely great for modding.
