DU computer nerds - can I get some help please?
I have decided that I want to build my own system. I've got all the parts picked out but I'm having an insanely difficult time deciding on a case. Can someone recommend a good one?

2. If this post were on slashdot, it would start an instant flame war!
Sorry, it's been a while since I built my last PC. I tend to like the small form factor Shuttle cases though.

3. I've never done this before. I'd be afraid to set foot in a forum like that.
:scared:

4. I built one 3 years ago
Still my bedroom computer, I love it. AMD with 1 gb ram and a 60gb hd. Use it for music burns.

5. Look at what the "build shops" offer.
http://www.ibuypower.com/mall/lobby.htm

http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/

I always look at what the "build your own" places and see what they are using. I then go to http://www.pricewatch.com/
when I buy.

6. That would be an easy question here
I walk past computers on the sidewalks here every trash day. People just throw them away; maybe they pull the hard drive but the fan, the board and the power supply are always there. Take your pick; towers, mini towers.
