    Minerva picked her new case by copying off of me!
    Juneau...I am curious as to the consumption from all those fans...let's say 850W is the right choice....do all your fans draw much power?

      Well I am running an i7920 that is OC'd to 3.8ghz with 3 hardrives, 12gb of RAM clocked @1866, an 8800gtx OC2, and my case has 4-5 fans.... I am using a 750w PSU and works great (aside from my previous one being an OCZ and they are garbage LOL)

        The fans barely draw anything Blackarrow. They'll also be on a fan controller as you won't want them running at full speed.

              You could rent the case out to a family of four to live in while you are waiting on the other parts to come in... make a little extra rental cash.

                    Drop the Xtreme Audio. That card was always the one not to get. If you're not OK with onboard, which is good these days, get the Xtreme Music or better yet the Xtreme Gamer.

                    You still haven't let me know how many fans the case has exactly. My guess is still 8.

                      Nice.

                      I would go either way on the audio but I have the Xtreme Gamer and like it, so I'd probably do that, and would have two DVD drives as posted above. And an internal multi-type card reader for a 3.5" slot.

                      Everything else is pretty much what would be on my current list if I had the resources to build today.

                      Except the case. Not my cup of tea.

                        In fact. Why am i saying go for a Creative card? Screw the X-Fi, go for the Asus Xonar DX.

                              LOL I was thinking the same thing when I read it. Didn't think you cared much for creative...

                                Better sound quality and much much much better driver support.
