I'm on my road to upgrading and OCing.
Here is where I started:
Alienware Aurora DDR
HYDRAULIC MID-TOWER CASE B
Asus A7M266 mb
AMD 1.4ghz T-bird 266
Visiontek GF 3 ti500 64DDR
2-128mb PC2100 DDR
40gig Baracuda 7200rpm 100ata
Plex CDRW
Pioneer DVD
300w PS
1-antek fan on side
Here is where I am today:
HYDRAULIC MID-TOWER CASE B
Asus A7N8X Deluxe
AMD 1.4ghz T-bird 266
Visiontek GF 3 ti500 64DDR 240/485
2-128mb PC2100 DDR
1-512mb PC2100 DDR
Thermaltake Silent PurePower, 420W ATX power supply
Thermaltake SMART FAN. Variable Fan Speed Control, by temperature sensor on the side
Now, not realizing(still don't) I bought 2 Thermaltake SMART FAN. Variable Fan Speed Control, by temperature sensor, expecting to put one on the front. It doesn't fit. Everything I have seen says it takes a 80mm in front but it looks to me like a 120mm slot. The cage is missing so...
Now I have just purchased the following:
AMD 2100+ Throroughbred B
Coolmaster CPU FAN|HHC-001 PURE COPPER
and a 60mm fan for the back slot
1st question: Is the Thermaltake PS ok?

2nd question: Though it seems I have bought things for this computer spec, what would be a good case to purchase?
Here is what I want in a case:
Fans - 80mm prefered, at least 3 slots
Black prefered or a metalic color like silver
1-firewire in front
Possibly designed for a temp readout in one of the bays.
Some ease of setup options like the MB tray pulls out and the drive bay swings.
Add a see through panel and your there.
