Hi,
Im going to be building a computer and I need some opinions:
Should I choose the mid tower case: http://www.electroseller.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=electroseller&Product_Code=ATX288K-BK%2F320&Category_Code=9bay or go with the bigger case for $5 more http://www.electroseller.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=electroseller&Product_Code=ATXB1K-BK%2F320P4&Category_Code=9bay
and how is this http://www.electroseller.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=electroseller&Product_Code=KMS-COMBO-BK&Category_Code=CMB-Sets
and how many fans should I get with it, 1 or 2?

and the moniter http://www.electroseller.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=electroseller&Product_Code=17DB77-BLACK&Category_Code=029

I want to know what you guys(or gals) think about the quality of this stuff. Is it a good deal, or should I be looking a different site to get my stuff?

I don't know too much either but I always prefer big towers because I can't stand when everything is just so much packed together in a tower so that you have to unplug everything first before you reach the piece you want to exchange...

Well, if you worry 'bout other ppl think, then go ahead and buy the smaller one, that wud look nicer. ;) But if you're going to expand in the future, and you're gonna be a hardware geek (hehe) go with the taller - that's what I'd do. ;)

peace out

Personally, I prefer the Antec Performance series cases. I have an Antex SX1030 (http://www.antec-inc.com/product/cases/sohoser.html) and it is hands down the best case I have ever owned. You'll pay a bit more for it, but after going through several cheapie cases I think it's well worth the extra money. You can search Pricewatch (http://www.pricewatch.com/) to find the best prices.
