What do you already have?
You will need Hard Drive, Windows, DVD-RW drive.
Why the extra fans? The 900 comes with 3x120 and 1x200, and they are very quiet on low with good cooling.
I would go for a Tuniq Tower or a TRUE120 instead of the AF7.

Whoops yeah I forget to mention I will be using my old DVD drive and hard drives. The reason I added extra fans was on the description of the case it said 2 of the 120mm fans where optional (which I assume means not included?). but I guess even more fans is over kill especially since I don't plan to over-clock.
How's the motherboard I picked will it need to be flashed to support the Q6600? I will take a look at the CPU coolers you mentioned but I would prefer not to spend too much on it since I won't be over-clocking and noise it not too much of an issue for me.
Thanks

The case comes with
- 1 top 200mm TriCool fan with 3-speed switch control
- 1 rear 120mm TriCool fan with 3-speed switch control
- 2 front 120mm special black TriCool blue LED fans with 3-speed switch control to cool HDDs
The side panel has space for a fan, and the extra fan inside the case is pointless. If you are not overclocking at all, I would buy the retail chip, though as an overclocker (Like many here) I recommend that you do. Makes it more worthwhile!

Thanks for the info, think I will order the stuff soon(ish). Anyone got any info on the motherboard though, its the only thing i'm not sure about specifically will it need flashing for the CPU?
Thanks.
EDIT- Oh and for 4GB of RAM I will need to use XP 64bit right? (Don't want to use vista).
