y'all need to shush, a silver Lian-Li is my dream case ... and
waaay over budget
anyone wanna buy me one?
...
Anyways, I've updated my original post with some crucial infos, I hope that helps.
And thanks Lasereth, your post in particular is very helpful!
The case you linked, I saw it when I was browsing before, I do like it, and might end up getting that one.
I am certain I'll be adding 1-2 hdd's in the future, so perhaps I should go 400W on the PSU.
I still need to research the boards.
Alright, I'm going to do some more browsing ... thx MikeSty for the zipzoomfly link, I knew there were other sites that I always see people mention in these kinda threads, just couldn't think of em. I'll also have a look @ tigerdirect, and pricewatch of course.
