The case was a priority in this build. My old case has housed 3+ computers and it is falling apart. I wanted an all aluminum case, which is not cheap. Like I said... I am on a budget. Technically, I don't even need the video card as my 2900XT was running games just fine... I just want something different.
I guess it is just a preference for this build to be more of an external upgrade than internal. When I upgrade again either in the Fall or next Spring, I shouldn't need a PSU, case, hard drive, optical drive... it will be all CPU, Motherboard, and Monster Graphics card.

It is going to be at least a week and a half before everything is finished. I am going out of town on business all next week, so I probably won't have together until the weekend after I get back.

I am still waiting on my Motherboard. Fedex says it will be delivered on Monday, but the do deliver on Saturday, so who knows...
The case is a monster. I mean, it is friggin HUGE!!! The two Sapphire 4850 cards I bought are not the best build quality I have ever seen, but I suppose they will do the trick. I have already started getting the case ready for the build. I added my fans, mounted the PSU, Optical Drives, and Hard Drives. I pulled the Motherboard tray so I can throw on the CPU, RAM and CPU Cooler, wire it up, and hit the power button.
The suspense is killing me... it has been 2 weeks with no PC other than my trusty lappy.
