So for around $600 you will have a pretty beefy system with some cash back in rebates. Just add your choice of hard drive and cd drive. I didn't list a video card because the mainboard comes with on-board video. Just use that until you can save for a proper card.

I actually just built this setup and love the case. It is about the size of a toaster oven. I wasn't sure the amount of room I would have had for a video card until the system was built so I was forced to use the onboard video until I could measure and order a proper card. If you can get a video card under 9" you can keep the hard drive cage. Otherwise you need to remove the hard drive cage for a lot more room. But, with the hard drive cage removed you will only have room for 1 hard drive(in the lolfloppy drive mount).
