This seems to be a pretty common question, and I need some help choosing a case and a PSU. Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking this for the case:

Maybe the UV blue instead of the plain clear? I have no idea what power supply. I know the good ones I just don't want to overkill (too much :)) or underkill. I would like something pretty for my see through case. What I will have in there (when I get everything together) is:

Athlon 64 FX-55
MSI Neo Platinum 2
X800 XT (PE hopefully)
WD Raptor 74Gig
Another HDD for storage (haven't picked one out yet)
2 DVD burners and a floppy drive

If I left out anything that will be a significant drain on power let me know. All I really need to know is what the minimum(sp?) amount of power I need. I've already got some that I'm keeping an eye on, just not sure about how much power.
 
imo, the clear cases are always closer to the overkill side of the scale... i like window cases myself because the only show off part of the thing... clear case == naked, but they do look realy cool.

my preference is for a clean looking case (lian li PC-65 black) with the window and some blue fans :D

as for PSU, i gues that any large wattage ( 480+ ) PSU should be fine... although branded is better.

Oh, and I almost forgot the most important point of all...
