blac - try a grand total of $40 saved doing it manually. That is if Ankh doesn't want to play silly internet games and order parts all from all over the
net, just to save a couple bucks.
The Antec 300 case is a standard Mini-tower. Room for 3 accessible drives, and that's it. It's a REALLY good case - I'm really pleased with it.
Ankh - what you've got there is 95% of what I had. I traded in the drives for some 640GB WD Caviar Black models, but they're really not worth it. I had
some brilliant plan to try some RAID 1 setup and wanted uber-high-perf drives, but changed my mind.
As for additional fans - don't bother. The Antex 300 has 2 large 120mm fans - one on the top of the case, one on the back. Also, the mountpoint for the
power supply is on the bottom, not the top, so the hot(ish) exhaust from the PS is nowhere near your CPU, memory, or video card. The ONLY addition I made to
mine was a filter I placed over the side panel fan port. The front air intake is filtered, I wanted to make sure the other intake was as well.
