I will soon have about $300 to blow on new computer toys :D , and wanted the openion of people what to get. First off is a nice case. The case os have now is sub-POS. it is a mini tower made of the stuff that most cases use as slot covers, verry cheep. and i was looking at getting one of those really wide server cases whith like 15 bays
second is a new vid card. I have a voodoo3 that someone gave me, which isent bad. but That pod anoys the hell out of me. it has no screws and falls off the back if i move my comp. I was looking at like a gf2 pro or similar (dont have good enougn monitor to justify gf3)
third and what i figure post people would say to go whith is water cooling, curently i have that sub-pos case which wouldnt have a chance of fiting inside so it would have to sete someware. and because I have a 2nd proc comeing in i would have to get 2 blocks. i was looking at spiral block, whith big mama, and mag drive 300-500 gph.

ps i am not rich I just found somehting to sell on ebay and will be quite broke for some time after is do this

thanx for input:D

Want a NICE cube case? Then keep on saving your money, cause $300 isn't enough for a NICE one.

Antec SX1440B File Server case - $489

Enermax FS2200B - $399

Directron Mini Cube - $179

If you want to go watercooled, go DangerDen.com. Still one of the best when it comes to waterblocks, plus you don't have to deal with waiting weeks on end from a unreptuable dealer of spiral waterblockers, as I've heard from some experiences. As for a radiator Big Mama is Big Nothing compared to a $25 heater core. Good choice on the Mag Drive though.
