I did notice that it is the slim case. I would rather prefer a regular width case.

Are you saying pass Jani?

Don't some cases not allow that?

If there is only 1 PCI slot then obviously I couldn't have much expansion.

I would need the ability to support 3 external HDD's, Wireless, and my 128 ATI card.

im not really passing... but if you want to add a video card for gaming, you'll have to buy a new low-profile card.

meh you don't REALLY need it secured h:

is your video card AGP? how many PCI slots do you really need?

get a usb hub or whatever and you're set for the HDDs.

if he already has a monitor he should buy the one with it and then sell it. he'd come out ahead.

Are there better deals out there? The extra Monitor I would almost have no place for it, so I could resell it, or sell my 17" that I have at home.

What's the verdict? This isn't really a small purchase that I can vouch for on my own...:nervous:
