As well as some Cable ties and the anti static wrist band
Total comes to 963$ not including tax and shipping. What you guys think? Would love to hear any suggestions. I am also very interested in any
cases you guys might suggest me. The Antec 900 seems to be well rated. My only concern is cable management as well as dust. Since there are no dust filters that I am aware of. Well that is all. Thanks in advance XD.
