Always make sure power supply cord is disconnected from the unit!
AIR FLOW AIR FLOW AIR FLOW! Keep that baby cool! You have a good amount of cash for this setup. Get a decent MOBO- Really dont need anything tooo fancy there. I would spend most of my cash on a good Processor (AMD Athlon) A good Vid Card and Hard Drive and Memory! Try to save about 500-600 bux for these components! Remember that now days MOBOs come with built in sound and Ethernet High Speed setups so you can save your dollars not having to buy these cards. As cool as it seems to spend big bux on a
SUPER-COOL CASE Don't waste your money! Get a decent case with plenty of fan slots. If you intended to hang your case on the wall as art then go with the cool case! Remember you don't have to go max memory right at the start. you can get a 256 memory stick and always have room for more down the road. If you have the cash left over you could get 2(sometimes you can find 2 sticks on sale so look around)! last but not least get a good power supply! Most of the time cases come with these but they are really crappy. If you do your homework you can find a decent case without the powersupply and then you can purchase your own! Oh Yeah I forgot. I purchased a CDR/CDRW/DVD drive for 50 bux on sale. This quite common now since the rage is DVD burners. So if you just looking for gaming and Music this will do you nicely. If you have the patient to wait i would do your shopping at Newegg.com. You can find so many things there at rock bottom prices! They are very good to work with! You could get everything you need plus some going with them for your computer! READ THE REVIEWS before you buy though. There is some really good input on items in there! Hope that helped
