I'm planning a new build. Last decent rig I built was in 2004. Believe it's specs are still in my sig. I need to update it. I don't get on here as often as I once did.
Anyway, since the 2004 rig I built another one in 2011 but it was a budget build and I spend roughly $700 on it.
This tax season I decided that with the tax money I'll be getting back from the IRS I'd like to build another kickass rig. I've posted some parts on another forum and haven't gotten any suggestions. Maybe I'll have luck here.

Hard drive: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16822236339 (I'd buy two of these at this price).
Next are questionable parts; meaning I'm not entirely sure about them and would like suggestions.

Case 2: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16811112335 (I'm liking this case; more airflow plus the added bonus of being able to purchase 2.5" HDD's as opposed to 3.5" so I'd save some space) (TURNS OUT THIS ONE WAS JUST DISCONTINUED SO I'M BACK TO SQUARE ONE ON CASES)
Case 3: http://www.sunbeamte...rylic-Case.html
Since space is an issue I'm looking at things that fit on my desk. Not sure about this one, it looks cool, has an open air configuration but I'm just not sure how well it'd work.
As for cases, I wanted something that went under my screen as I've got limited space. But I'm finding this difficult. I've done an open case design before and it worked out well so Case 3 may just be a viable option.
Anything that needs changing? Any other recommendations? I'd appreciate it.
