    The biggest problem is finding one with a big enough area for my power supply

    That Coolermaster 830 is sweet indeed, i was going to list it but he mentioned he didn't want to pay more then 200 dollars... I love that Coolermaster though, hey dragnandy did you happen to take a look at the stacker 830 CX limited edition with the smoke flames? It's only 1,000 dollars!!lol It's nice as hell but i don't have those type of funds, all i can say is WOW!!!

    Wow that Soldam case seems sweet but more then likely way out of my price range. The same with the special edition 830 stacker. I do like the look of the Antec case might be able to squeeze that one by the wife. Just going to read the reviews and get either the 932 or the antec thanks everyone

    You already have that power supply? Because just so you know, even if you use an overclocked Quad core processor your system will be using around 250 watts at maximum load. A 350W PSU could run your system, not that I would do it. The Enermax Galaxy is a ridiculous power supply, as you don't need 1KW of power unless you use at least three graphics cards and two CPUs, what's more the Enermax Galaxy 1000 is one of the units that failed the 'real kilowatt' tests, i.e. it can't actually provide as much power as it says it can. I would never recommend the Galaxy 1000 to anyone, partly because in addition to all the above, it is one of the loudest PSUs ever made.

    For the record, the Corsair HX 1000W did pass the 1KW test. :)
