    So,shall I go miditower or fulltower.

    Do cables and such come with your pheripals or do you have to purshase those separately?

    What do they mean with mobos,like USB 4+4 internally (ASUS P5B DELUXE P965 SKT-775 ATX).Why do you want usb inside for

    Thanks.

    USB inside will allow you to buy an extension cable/bracket with which you can guide them to the outside.

    (I've got two of those, one with 2, one with 4 connections.... aint that nice? )

    Some peripherals do come with cables, some mobo's have 'm all, some come with less... ask / view a review before you buy...

    Miditower or Fulltower?

    Well, depends on who you want to impress , and/or how much room you want inside...
    How many devices do you want to add later on, inside?

    (My Miditower's got 2 DVD thingies, 3 Harddisks, a Floppydrive, a SoundCard, a TV card, Graphics card... and them to USB brackets... plenty o'room me thinks...)

    Good Luck, Have Fun...

    A good miditower is fine for most people, there's plenty of room in my NZXT Apollo, and i could fit a 8800GTX in there if i had one.

    If you're looking for a mobo get a Asus 650i, best bang for buck board out there, SLI too.

    With a full server tower you usually gets lots of 120mm fans and excellent cooling. If you have the space, I think it is well worth it to go full tower.

    I agree with blairgowrie. If space will allow it and your budget then full tower would be better. I've just changed my case and in hindsight wish I'd have gotten it first or sooner.

    It's got loads of space and fans and for once in my PC life has very tidy cables.

    ASUS P5N-E SLI 650I SOCKET 775 FW GBLAN ATX

    Correct? Even cheaper too

    I´m currently looking on THERMALTAKE FULLTOWER ARMOR or THERMALTAKE FULLTOWER EUREKA.

    Millions of cases out there,hard to choose (right)

    I will never own another mid-tower. Once you have a full tower, theres no going back.

    Ditto. It aint about impressing anyone. It's about cooling and easy accessibility and a good full tower has it in spades...period.
