As I mentioned I have a P160 case and love it. Their cases are pretty expensive though. A place I was looking at getting the new system, uses InWin and though he commented that there are higher end versions of the case, if I got Antec it was going to be a higher premium than desired (ie he would slightly gouge me over buying an Antec directly from a local chain). Part of that issue though depends on whether I pay or build myself. (I wanted to "learn" something). Antec's PSUs are so/so. Had a problem when adding load to a unit I bot and they did a swap for me but I had to ship it to California. (sort of expensive seeing as the PSU is rather heavy and having to ship international). But I got a new model back and it was okay. A good PSU is important mostly when you start applying load. A system I bot in 2000, had an el cheapo supply and the voltages were too wide when the system was loaded (I had 4x7200 RPM drives at the time) and I had some issues (cannot recall what they were). So then I swapped in an Antec and the system behaved. I have been using NEWEGG to figure out some of the RAM things (as per what others have done) - thanks for the info.
