		Well, I have the Antec case that Alienware uses, so I figure I really don't need a new one, but if I had to choose, there's one I saw in Maximum PC that is about $160. It's all aluminum, has an angled front van, so it makes less noise, plus all the other goodies; 5 fan slots, slide racks, wire trenches, etc.

Nope, I upgrade my processor usually about every 700mhz. I decided to wait, but it costs too much. I would get the 2.8, but for an extra 150, I can get another 200mhz.

Right, THE game. It runs MOH fine, but what happens when Star Wars Galaxies and Planetside release? You're gonna need all the power you can get baby! I'm going for broke to run these badboys!

 Well, like ID said, they are designing the game to max out at 69 FPS, since the human eye can't see any differences over 57FPS.
