Green Giant:
You could save yourself a few bucks by buying a case off geeks.com. 

Something like this http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=CS51WBK&cat=CAS would power all your needs.
Lakersfan:
The more I can save, the better. Plus that case looks 10 times better than the one I found and it has more wattage.  :applaud:
Thanks!

The wattage of a powersupply is only as good as the quality of the powersupply. A 500w generic piece of crap powersupply won't perfom as well as a 300w quality powersupply. You get what you pay for here.
Lakersfan:
What's a good quality power supply that's a good deal? I'm not familiar with the different brands of power supplies...
tristan:
Look for something with lots of amps on the 12 volt rail. Most power supplies have more than enough 5 volt power. I tend to use the Thermaltake TR2's for basic computers without a lot of devices pulling power. You could get something with a Dual 12V rail for a bit more and pretty much be set no matter what you plug in:
