I will post any more info or complications here. Thanks again....

WHen using larger VGA cards (7800GT, or even x800xl) it's a ***** to install.

and twe VGA cards are out of the question with that cooler.

So I've read. But I'll give it a try, and if not, well it will come to use later

Case wise, I'd go look around on manufacturer sites (like coolermaster, Lian-li, Thermaltake, ...) find something that fits your needs and looks good to you and try finding some reviews.
For the fan controller, the T-balancer (http://www.mcubed-tech.com/eng/produkte.htm) is a software controlled fancontroller and has temp readouts too (it's not cheap btw). Same as the case, find what fits your needs and look up some reviews (tough browsing some reseller sites can help you too, because you'll have a lot of controllers on 1 page).

And if you realy, realy have the money, and you want x-treme audio, then get the Creative X-Fi (if you're a gaming freak, looking for that 1 extra fps, get the fatality edition w/ X-ram, wich can help speed up gaming in the future).

Thanks for that, maybe if I have $60 to spare I might get the fan controller, or look into it in the future. As for the case, I picked out a Lian-Li, had nice reviews and specs.

Ok. I have a problem. I got my pc built, but for some reason the monitor wont recognise that there is data. I tried hooking up the Monitor to my laptopl, and it worked just fine.

I have to use converters that I got with the GPU to hook in the monitor, so I think thoes might be the reason. Anyone know anything about this?
