Any reason why your going for that case? just curious as I think better options are out there especially with the budget that he has.. it's not that good to look at either

Might want to look at the memory below as the cpu cooler may inter fear with the ram heatsinks.

And perhaps spend a little more and the get the hard drive below:

I really like Antec cases, they are great to build into, but fair point about cost, any preferences?

And good thinking about the RAM heatsinks
