Success!

Huge Success!  I talked yesterday about setting up my first system in seven years and it all worked!  It took me a bit longer than I originally anticipated, but I'm very happy with all the parts that I picked up, especially the case.

I was orginally going to use an old case from my parents' previous tower, but decided it might be best to just start fresh with everything and man, am I glad I did.  I picked out the Antec 300 black ATX tower and it is great!  Everything is layed out so efficiently and there's even two system fans pre-installed to help keep everything cool, plus three additional places to add in more fans.  The hard drive bays are set up with hinged cages to make adding new drives super easy.  Plus, there's even an extra compartment for cord overflow to make sure everything is nice and neat around the circuitry.

If you're looking to buy a new tower, I definitely recommend this case.  It even has rounded edges on all of the metal so you don't have to worry about cutting yourself like with most cases.  Great stuff!

Here's today's Web Waster:

NewEgg - This site was a God-send for building my new computer.  They have great prices on computer parts, ready-made systems, home-theater accessories, cables, cameras, video games and much more.  Their user base is extremely helpful and well-informed with their reviews.  I highly recommend what they've got to offer when you're looking for electronics.
