    How about a decent sized case, too?
    Micro Center - Nine Hundred ATX Gaming Case

    If you are not planning on overclocking (and even if you are), then this Q9300 is a great deal:
    http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0299998

    Stock, it is a smidge stronger then the Q6600, while consuming less power, thus creating less heat. I have mine easily overclocked to 3.2GHz right now without doing anything other then bumping up the clock in the BIOS and leaving everything else on "Auto" on my motherboard.

    Man I love that case!!!! That would be perfect to fit my fat arse 9800 GTX video card. I currently have an Antec Performance One P180 in Black. Newegg.com - Antec Performance One P180 Silver cold rolled steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases Its nice but its does not have enough length to completely fit my 9800. I had to remove the top HD bay to accomdate the video card.

    I looks like the 900 might fight that bill to replace my P180. And then I can move the P180 over to my file system rig to store all its drives its holding more adequately with better cooling to boot for it!

    Nice find there! And the price is right in range too!
