Don't forget the DVD RW. I would get a SATA drive with lightscribe.

You may not need it but it's hardly anymore then a reg drive.

Don't forget the Floppy

I love this, a floppy and a usb card reader

Don't hook up the usb card reader till after windows is loaded

Side door fan and replace the unlit rear fan. Yes I know silly but

I had a common beige case for so long!!! Bling

Sound blaster X-Fi Platinum Fatal1ty

The front panel box really finishes off the front

BTW I love my antec 900 case

Installing the floppy drive was a royal pain though

because of the bay adapter not the drive.

Hi guys posting from new machine, about to install F@H, just played a few games of TF2 it was great. Anyways, me and my friends are doing this gift exchange thing, and we get to make up a wishlist at 40$ max. Anyone with any suggestions, I wanted a thermalright ultra120, but that crossed the line.
