Sorry to bring this thread back to life, with all of the "I'm building a computer" threads. I have a change of scenario, and I wanted to run it by you people.
I
was ordering my system from
Cyberpower Inc., but after placing my order found them to be a risky and incompotent company. Tonight I cancelled the order, and decided to build the computer myself. It's the cheapest way, and the only way I can be in control of everything. This will be my first time building a computer.
Here is what I am ordering from newegg.com. I already received my Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro. Please let me know if it passes your judgement:

I am getting 10 80mm fans, because I wanted a few for my case, and with the "volume discout" it is cheaper to get 10 than 3. No kidding.
