$1000 bucks to spend on new rig

[Detale]

I keep meaning to get them but No and OH YEAH it's dusty in there as well as on the outside of the case I can usually wipe it off like dryer lint.

Antec P182 is cheaper then the P180 right now. $60 or $90 depending on if the sale is dead. Promo code EMCACAHCC (probably requires signing up for the newegg mailing list to use) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129025

OK so I happened to check newegg today and they had the wolfdales in stock so I got it along with the Mother Board. I decided to keep my case as it's fine and still looks cool, maybe I'll mod it somewhat.

Also I was checking around Tiger and I think Im gonna mess with a Micro ATX system with some parts I have here. I think the cases are cute. I saw this one and will order it next week.

Ultra Black MicroFly Aluminum Micro ATX Tower



What sold me was this youtube video they have on the page

I have never built a "Mini Rig" like this before but I think I will use it as my "Download Computer"

I picked a cheap Micro board here

ECS 945GZT-M (v1.0)

If anyone has any input on the board don't hesitate please. I just want to keep it under $50 because this is going to be a toy and if I like it I'll upgrade.

I already have some extra 1066 DDR2 Ram laying around and I will swap out my current E6400 Conroe 2.14 when I get the Wolfdale and use the old one with the "toy".

I do want to get a decent video card any suggestions for under $250would be cool too guys. ATM I'm looking at

EVGA GeForce 8800 GT




I don't play games but I do some video editing from time to time so I just want the best card for $250 and under

Thanks guys and I would love to hear what you think.

Dude why do you care how it looks? Get the cheapest ATX full tower case you can get, and then spend all of your money on the insides! Even go ATX Mid tower if you can. Newegg also has a pretty ugly (but who cares) micro atx case for $13.00+$15.99 Shipping - $10.00 Rebate = $19.00 Case! But you wouldnt be able to fit a high-end graphics card inside (You know those kind that are like a forearm!). You should be able to find a mid tower case at a computer store for around $25 bucks. Spend the money you saved on some ram or a better power supply.

Well I take pride in the aesthetics as well as the components inside.I am planning on getting the corsair 620 modular PSU and I have some crucial balistix 1066 sticks laying around too so I am pretty set that way. all I found on newegg was Shuttle cases and I dont like the way they look.
