I am very happy with my HAF cooler master 932. 500mil fans *4. Price about 129.00, Lits of room to work with 6 optical bays and 5 hard drive bays. Low end i7 processors like the 860. Around 179 for the processor retail. An Assus mother board P7P55D deluxe has *hardware raid* and A *Linux* instant on OS built in to the board. 4gigs DDR3 1600 MHZ ram. This mother board supports pulse fan control it will vary fan speed to cooling need. You can read the temp of any drive in the bays and set a cooling plan. supports firewire and usb3.0 on the board. With a Terabyte drive. 75.00 And a Nvida Geforce 9800 should put you in Linux High Def Heaven 1920x1200. The graphics card is about 98.00 and* the driver for Linux is great* you will be in multi monitor heaven.You can have your desktop span 2 monitors. Even more if you want to add another graphics card. Dual 500 watt power supplies 120.00 I use a dual band wireless card. It is a good system and I love it. I have up graded to 3 drives now and Im looking at solid state SSD drives for a system drive bottle neck at the read write speed of a spinning hard drive. I do not play games and have had no problem mixing 12 high def audio tracks with 6 video tracks at the same time. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
