Haha Viktor, I had that same review in mind but was too lazy to find the link.

Re: Looking at Desktops
I think it is a nice board Loki.
Always remember their is always going to be something better around the horizon. That was the way I used to think after my first system but then I realized that this is probably not going to be the last system that I will ever build. So try not to think of it as a super long term thing, Build it if someone wants to buy it from you sell it and build another. That is the only way I have piece of mind with computers. With technology always advancing you will always want something new I still jones when I walk in to Microcenter to this day.
The PC I have right now so far has been the one that has lasted me the longest, though I am always tweaking it or adding something else here or there.
I guess it is a hobby now.

Re: Looking at Desktops
Ok, so far this is what it's looking like. I am still looking around at cases in hopes of finding a $50-70 case that fits my needs. For me Antec has the top selling point with the dust filters. I may drop it down to the Antec 300. I'm not too sure on the PSU being at the base. The one I have selected has the intake fan on it's under side which I would think would be an issue, thoughts? Also, should I consider a sound card? The only ones I've had experience with in the past were Creative Sound Cards. I've read mixed reviews saying I should have it/you can manage with the onboard sound. I also need to look at monitors...
