Default suggestions?
i am remaking this tread because i have no idea how to attach files once the thread is posted so:

i am building a new case pretty much from scratch and i have nearly everything planned out except a name. so if anyone has any ideas, tell me! case will look blue exterior, white interior, and white cathodes. it will be watercooled, a 360 rad that is going on top

i have some sketch-up pics , i dont know how to convert them but i can send them over skype or aim if your REALLY wanna see them

specs are:
AMD AM2 2.4 Ghz dual core 6400+
2*1 GB crucial ballistix tracer ram DDR2 800
EVGA 8800 GT
Still deciding on mobo, but it will be the best budget overclocker
600W antec power supply

i guess if you have any comments on the build that would be helpful too!
thank you!

pictures!!! the white part is going to be white circle mesh, a 360 rad on top, 2 120 turbine fans on the front (mod is here http://www.mnpctech.com/120mm_FanDuc...uter_Mod1.html)

Looks good. But I'm still blanking on a good name...

Oh and just so you know, its technically taboo to "bump" a thread within 24hrs of the last post, especially not within a half hour or so.

How about "Red Dawn Express"... you might have to change the color scheme...

Check around online - McMaster Carr has some stuff that you might find useful.
