Need Some Help Please

[Porphyria]

Well I have about 150$ to spend , and I'd like a new case and a nice hsf for a p4.

Right now I have the aspire xdreamer, and I must say it's a p.o.s. I'm looking for a good case thats roomy like a SOHO server but without 120$+ cost. I really like the chieftec style of cases.

Also, I really like this http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-103-142&depa=0 HSF, but I heard mixed reviews. Can anyone clear it up at all? I'm using stock HSF p4.

While I haven't had a Intel chip in ages, I hear this is the cooler to go with for P4's

or the AL/CU one for 5 bucks less and a little lighter.

As far as larg-ish cases, I like this one

I have had good experiences with Antec cases so far, I have the SLK3700-BQE right now, and its a fine case for the money.

This case sounds close to what you're looking for. I don’t know anything about that HSF, but I am happy with this. Actually, I have the all copper version, which is heavier and cools about the same according to 3 tests I've seen posted on hardware review sites. It’s not really that great at cooling, but does a decent job considering its relatively low noise level. With the remaining $$ you should be able to get a decent power supply.
