This is from the System Builder on microcenter.com. I have one not too far from my house and they price match most online vendors. I prefer to buy local if I can for easier swapouts if needed.

The one pisser so far is that there are very few cases any longer that have 5.25" external bays. I still need one because I do some work that requires DVDs/CDs on a fairly regular basis. My computer is usually hidden 0r at least mostly out of sight in my home setup, so I don't need the glass panels for showing off purposes. Still I'd like something with a little style. I'll probably have to online order , if I can find one. Microcenter does have a cube shaped one I'm considering as well. I like the idea of the motherboard being horizontal rather than vertical.
