Its going to have:

6800GT
Mobile 2600-M
Abit NF7-S v2
Corsair XMS Xtra Low Latency Series 1GB

Size doesnt matter but I prefer something with plenty of bays. Sound is a bit of an issue I dont want something that sounds like a Tornado, but it doesnt have to be whisper quiet either. Its a gaming machine only pretty much.

I've heard that the Lian-Li PC-xxxx series are really good, something like that might suit me fine if you guys think it would work good. I'm not at all a good case modder so I'll have to buy something as is.
 
i absolutely love my lian-li pc-61. everything (and every review you'll read) about this case screams quality and planning. my one and only complaint is that i wish it was a bit longer. the power cable from the video card and the harddrives kind of all come together at the same spot. but everything else about it is top notch.

how many harddrives do you have? if just one, you can put it in the floppy drive bay to clear up some room internally.
 
I'll have 3 HDD's when its setup, forgot to mention that. I'll be using SATA RAID 0 and a backup HDD.

Also will there be any problems with me using an Antec TruePower 430, as it has two fans on it. I read on the newer Lian-Li cases with the inside redesign the Video Card can get hotter because of the placement. I will be overclocking so that might be bad.
 
weell then, if you're using sata, it shouldnt' be that much of a problem then. and if the 3rd is an ide it'll be no trouble putting it into the floppy drive spot.
 
personally, from now on if it doesn't have removable mobo tray i dont' want it.
 
Look at the Antec Sonata (runs real cool, and it's quiet) or the Chenbro Gaming Bomb 61160
