Personally I think that case is ugly as but if thats the style you like then coolermaster and antec are probably going to be up your street, the cooling on the one you have linked to is average not the best

Although that cpu cooler is hassle free its not very powerful and would only cool the cpu whilst the gpu could also use some extra juice. Look at 3x120mm rads most prebuilt solutions are emant to be sub par
 
I would suggest the Antec Twelve Hundred. I have one and I love the thing, you can mount a 3x120mm radiator in it and hide it very well and still have room to mess with hardware, not to mention it comes pre-done with watercooling holes in the back if you put the radiator on the outside, enough fans to support any cooling and dust filters for every intake fan.
 
and how about a LG Black 6X BD-R 2X BD-RE 16X DVD+R 6X Blu-ray DVD-ROM 4MB Cache SATA Internal Blu-ray Burner 6X Blu-ray Disc Burner & HD DVD-ROM Drive Model GGW? for my disc drive?

What could I be missing? Any cables or anything? Is this a complete system?
 
P180 is a good case I was hoping you would find that gem just didn't want to direct you straight to it. Blu-ray depends on whether you will use it don't forget hd is still in its infancy(only a year or two old).
 
yeah i really enjoy bluray :) i think im about done if im not missing anything. i thank you all for your help!
 
Looks good but I definetly wouldn't get that Zalman case. It is way overpriced and Zalman watercooling kits blow!

I highly advise getting something like a Antec 1200 and at least get a watercooling kit from here:
Petra's Tech Shop

Zalman and watercooling don't deserve to be in the same sentence.
