Ok guys...

hmm... Case is based on ur preference really.. which is why i didn't really recommend one, same with the HD, depending on how much HD space u needed.. get a smaller or bigger HD

Vernongs right in that its your personal choice what case/HD to get.

But some good models to look for for hard drives are:

Samsung spinpoint
Seagate 7200.11
Western Digital

Cases:

Antec (900, P182)
Coolermaster (stacker 831/2, CM690)
Gigabyte (aurura)
Lian-Li
NZXT

Those are just some manufacturers/models, but I found it helpful if I had some things to base my choices off when I was picking parts. So hope it helps

*edit* screw it I'm always messing up which way it goes.

CM 690 is great for the price since it offers sli configs and great cooling solutions.
