Yes, they are both good cases. It's really up to you. Cases are the one thing that really is just about personal preference. Either of those cases I listed would work fine, but the coolermaster case is slightly larger then the Antec 300.  |

You can install both OSes on one machine (it's called dual boot) or you can install one on one drive and the other on another drive (as HDDs are so cheap) and swap them as needed (mobile drive rack, etc). The Conqueror is more like the Nine Hundred and neither the Three Hundred nor the Nine Hundred come with PSUs (though often a reduced-price bundle deal is available).
. There is no practical limit on the length of PSU in the Conqueror (nor the Antec models either), so you won't have to give up the case to change PSU they all take the standard ATX size but you may need longer cables on the bottom PSU mount cases depending on your mobo.
. Make sure you leave enough room in your budget for a backup drive. Nothing riskier in computing than running without a current backup.

This intel core 2 duo is out of stock at newegg. Can you recommend a good one with similar price range, as I am placing the order? Quote:

I just bought the 19" version of that monitor (can't even find it on Acer's site) - will be about $105. net after the newsletter/paypal/live deals. Got my fingers crossed that it will be at least as good as most of the buyers seem to think. I was hoping it would show up today - still possible at Holiday time as it's not 5:00 pm here yet...

I've got the 20" version, and the 22" version of that LCD line. They are great monitors. My 20" is my main gaming LCD. No tears, ripping, nothing. Had no dead/stuck pixels. It's a great LCD.
My woman stole the 22" version and hooked it up for her secondary LCD to watch PuppyCam 24/7. 
The only thing I would ever complain about is, 1. on a completely black screen, there is a very slight bleeding issue on the top on the bottom of the screen. If there are any colors on the screen you can't see it at all though. And #2, it blinds me in the morning when I first turn it on.   | |

ok, I got these parts. NOW how to install them. How to connect the two fans? There are so many wires, There is no information that tells me what to plug where? Any useful site or posts would be great.
Thanks! Quote:
