I would if I was able to save anything this is coming entirely out of tax return. I'll just have to upgrade later. I would rather have a decent case & better hardware then a great case & decent hardware. I am trying to scale my build back from just over $2000 to about $1000. I am currently down to about $1500 with changing case now just need to make more painful cost cutting decisions.

Antec 900 ($10 over, but well worth it)
