OK, I'm pretty sure it's an ATX mid-tower.

Know how long a price match review from NCIX should take? I've heard they price match microcenter, so I put that price in and they have to review it, but it still says they're going to review it. I put the request in before noon today :P

Is it cheaper then newegg?

Yeah it is once you factor in the 10% coupon and the $20 MIR. What are you thinking? lol

No, not the MB, the i5 2500K :P I can get it for $10 less than a 2400 on newegg Or, I could try to pricematch the 2400 and get an extra $40 for other upgrades O.o Not sure, which should I try? :P

Yeah, but that's the reason I kinda wanted a K series, so I could. Put the z68 mobo to use :P

I wouldn't overclock past like 3.8 with the stock cooler anyway, I guess. Better off with the 2400 probably.

Ok, I'm going to be ordering tonight or tomorrow hopefully. I decided on the 2400.

NCIX price match?

Also the CX500 has a coupon code EMCNFJN27 for $10 off. Don't forget about the MIR.

Are you buying a card now or later?

If you want to save $3 go with this RAM kit.

Didn't go through with the match. Checked back in the morning and nothing had changed :P Gonna go for a ebay deal, it's new and saves $15 after shipping, good enough. Got the coupon code

Do you think it would be worth it to go for this case? And if I did, would I need to trash the included PSU? Too bad it doesn't give more info :/

Re: General Gaming Rig, Looking to play PS2


Eh, my thoughts on cases probably might skew a bit different from most of the guys around here.
I like something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811112304
A case is something that should last for several builds, and a PSU can too, so I wouldn't be looking to skimp on either. That one seems sketch to me.

Meh, yeah. I was just going to re-use a case I already have, but that one looked cool. My thought was the same on the PSU. Guess not then.

I think you'll find most of us here lean towards classy over adolescent chic. I've never understood the appeal of cases, fan shrouds or peripherals that look like the cheap brandless knock-off toys you find in 99c stores.
