SilverStone *and* Coolermaster? Did you spread your components across two cases or something?

Seems so unless you've used part of each and modded the whole thing

The second case is for my "old" pc The best thing is, I got the all those nice components for free 8O

what kind of graphic's card does is it supposed to work with?

i also built mine from scratch....

Just some advice:

i have a small job of fixing computers. 8/10 computers that have hardware problems are dells. seriously... dells, i highly suggest against them.

another story about dells:
Once, i had a case where a couple comptuer "experts" couldnt fix a computer. My friend was going to trash it. it was a dell, and i decided, hey its a P4, i'll at least scrap it, got it for free. Took me 7 hours to fix, had tons of problems, ill post them if someone wants to know. but now its running as my server . I got a free server + a Geforce 4, MSRP at over $200
