I am going to build a comp

so far i have

Pentium 4 2.8E H/T
Artic Cooling P4 fan (for o/c)
Radeon 9800 Pro (just waiting to be flashed)
VGA Silencer

and im gonna get

MSI 865PE Neo 2 mobo(awesome for o/c)
2 sticks of 512mb PC3200 DDRAM
bunch of fans
power supply
and a case... (no idea what)

anyone have any ideas on who sells a good case? newegg has lots but alot of them look really cheap and badly designed...

Check the price. Check the comments. Check the NUMBER of comments. Check the rating.

That'll usually give you a decent idea of how good or bad it is. Worked for me.

Ian wins.

Also, I don't know why you wasted the cash on the Intel, and yet skimped on the video card. Unless you do a lot of encoding/decoding.

BTW--cases come with fans in them. I suggest at least 2 case fans.

I need to buy another case fan or two sometime. I have decent airflow and the case stays cool, but it seems like I have conflicting currents.

The heatsink fan is blowing outwards, to the side of the case. I have a fan on said side blowing IN towards the heatsink. It stays pretty cool in there. Never have I opened it up after it's been running and been blasted with warmer air. But I think I want another exaust fan in the back. That should grab some the air comming in, and comming out, and shove it out the back. No? If that isn't understandable, I'll draw a diagram or something. I might want another up front too... The only really warm place in there right now is in the vicinity of my Radeon and the harddrive.
