I really do not need those high end big cases. The only reason for switching to another case would be if that new case would provide excellent noise dampening capabilities. dip it’s a solid, cheap and excellent PC case.

I decided to go for the new Wolfdale CPUs because they consume less power and I really do not need four cores yet. Heck, I'm perfectly happy with my Athlon 3000+ :) The big changes this month have been the change of hard drive to one hard drive with 640 Gigabyte which should be enough for all my data. Everything else remained untouched more or less. I will check the review sites one more time before I make the purchase and decided on all components at that time. It could very well be that I make a decision to change on or the other component just a day before purchase. Dante Quad- or Dualcore was one of the decisions that I had to make.

They're buggy as all heck. But you might want to think about getting a Quad Core CPU.
