I'd also ditch the sonata-III, it is too small. The P182 is a way better case for 8800GTX. E2140 @ 375 x 8 = 3.0ghz 2x1 ocz system 1337s pc2-6400 5-5-5-15 @ 450mhz gigabyte P35 S3L eVGA 7600GT Stock 120 gig seagate ULTRA X-Finity 600w Sonata 2 w/ top fan G5 Lazer Mouse | |

| Thanks for the replys. I have looked at all the cases that you guys suggested. I am big on being suttle and not too flashy. I want a quiet and functional computer over a computer that has 30000 LEDs that flash and 90% of the case is plexiglass. I wont be going to any LAN partys so i really don't need to show off my computer to any one other than the people that come to my house. Lian Li V2000 - I thought it looked too much like a Mac Pro... and being somewhat of a apple hater i would be a hypocrite if i owned this case, plus i can't buy it on MemoryExpress. Enermax Uber Chakra - Cool design, big, can'y buy it Gigabyte 3D Aurora - Looks good, don't like the front bulge, same size as p182, Aluminum so it wont be as quiet as a steel case. Tagan Black Pearl - Couldn't find it? Thermaltake Armor - Too Flashy, Like the huge fan, $60 more. Antec 900 - Too flashy, just as big as p182, wont be as quiet Antec P182 - I really like this case becasue of the simple design and the gunmetal black finish. I like the door that swinges all the way around and closes with a magnet, I like that it is made to be quiet with its steel construction and that it was built to be neat with it is cable organizer that puts all the cables behind the motherboard. Also i just went out and bought the Saitek Eclipse II keyboard and have to say that it is a GREAT keyboard, i really wanted a backlight keyboard because alot of the time i am typeing in the dark. I would have rather had the Microsoft Wireless Entertaintment Keyboard 8000 but its way too expensive. Thanks for all your help it is greatly appriciated and i think that i have found the components that will go into my build.
