As for your poll you only got two votes because it's probably one of the lease desired case out the entire Lian Li production line, i love Lian Li cases and would never consider purchasing Lian Li PC-343B.

Going BIG i see, but the saying goes bigger isn't always better, quality over quantity, truthfully i wish i was there in person to guide you in making right decisions cause it burns to see a newbie go way overboard.
I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a noob. Better to be humble and proved wrong than to be arrogant and proved wrong, I would think. I probably should have gotten the 920 or the 930, but it won't hurt me to have 6 cores of 32nm goodness either, so *shrug*.

I even asked for advice on the processor with a survey on xtremesystems. Winner was the core i7 980X. I probably should have combined the 920 and the 930 into one category when I did the survey, that would have given a different result, I suspect. But it's not a horrible choice, either.

What Lian Li case would you suggest? You still haven't answered that question.

I'm not quite sure how buying the cheapest case option is going way overboard. What would you have spent different in my budget, other than going with a cheaper cpu and power supply? Here's the budget breakdown.

I've been saving up for two years, researching for a year or so, and asking for advice on this build for months now (since November of last year) on multiple forums. Mostly on xtremesystems for obvious reasons.

A bit late to say that you would have done it different, don't you think?
