    OK I got the ASUS Board K8T800 or whatever board, it has features I relly liked and the reviws I saw showed it being one of the best.

    The OEM Athlon 3000+ becuase when I ordered the retail it WAS there, but became OUT OF STOCK, thus I got the Zalman Copper HSF with it

    Grand Total of $404 smacks shipped.

    I couldn't get the HDD I wanted becuase it would put me over my withdrawl daily limit. Tomorrow I will have to decide on whether or not I want ONE or TWO WD 120GB HDD's for a RAID array ;)

    What else do you guys think I should look into getting?

    If you RAID the drives, be sure to get 4 drives; 2 for your array, and 2 more for a second, backup array.

    How about a better case?

    What is better than what I got? I remember bringing the all aluminum case home with me, I SWEAR that when I first picked up the box for the case at FedEx I thought it was an Emtpy Box. I actually opened it right there just to make sure, and sure enough there it was.

    I knew it was light weight, but DAMN!

    Anyways, what is a better case? I am not looking for something great looking, and I don't wanna spend alot on it like I did when this case costed me $197 total.

    No, it's considered a mid, Geeky. I own two full towers (Not by choice), and they're 25-30% larger than this case.

    Depends on who you talk to, Thrax. Antec, for example, calls it a "SOHO Server Tower"... :p
