Cool. I take it this will be either an HTPC or a media server (or both)? You could save money and have some fun by painting the faceplates of the mismatched components instead of swapping them out. Will you be posting only final pics or a full worklog (preferred!) in which case this thread can be moved to the Project Worklogs section.

I'm planning to buy a thermaltake PSU soon, how does the psu run?

[mikeroq]

Its a good psu, but when I upgrade to SLI down the road, I will buy a new psu as this is not an SLI one. I am swapping out the gold drive as I want another dvd burner, and I would like to change out the media reader for a floppy/media reader incase I need to use a floppy for anything

I should have posted in the work logs area, but I clicked on the wrong one.

[Razors Edge]

OK, I am ganna see if I can pick up a thermaltake psu sometime.

Hey what kind of case is that?

[Razors Edge]

/offtopic lol
Yeah I know man, But like It can BARLEY run the minumem settings of oblivion. I mean belive me I have the money to make it the top-of-the-line, but the problem is, I am 13. I don't have a credit or debit or anything. If I could order from new-egg, It would be much stronger.

You could try having your parents buy it, or get a bank account and choose the billmelater option at checkout, then add your bank account to bill me later and pay it off there.
