Hey guys, you helped me build a computer about 10 months back and it worked out great. Still love my computer and it is working great... thanks! Now i am posting for my room mate as he wants to build something similar to what i got. This was my post from 10 months or go. I pretty much copied the post linked below, but made some changes to fit my room mate's need.

Using a 19" CRT that uses VGA (have adapter) plan on upgrading to a 21" LCD soon but not in this build.
