Price shown is total cost with shipping + TN sales tax if applicable.

Case decision.  Ordered October 1st, 2012:

Case: Antec Dark Fleet DF-85 ATX Full Tower $220.36 ♣  upgrade from used $50 Antec 900, same brand but flagship model.  I consider this affordable, yet quality and aesthetically impressive. Expensive is my Zalman TNN 500AF computer case, which runs $1,200 new, and I bought two of them.  If $220.36 for a case is too much or if you don't like it, tell me ASAP so that I can cancel this order immediately!!!  The sooner you view your build page the better...

You did pay $42.51 towards the Antec 900 in 2011 which I sold to Travis for $50 (actual cost).  I'll refurbish the 2004 to 2005 era Dell Dimension and resell to recoup part of this cost of the new build.  Without video card and downgraded to Windows XP, the expected net after PayPal + eBay fees is $80, but could be more. You can finance the balance of the case & the heatsinks (approximately $110, depending on what the Dell Dimension sells for) to pay off when you are able. FYI, I may need to order cables for this build since the case has 7 (seven) internal fans. This cannot be determined until I know what connections the recent components have, i.e., 2-pin, 3-pin, or Molex and what connectors your PSU ha..  I'll provide the fancy/pretty cables (Bitfenix Alchemy, approximately $60 cost since I'd replace others as well just for the looks) and the labor as a GIFT but you are expected to cover the actual cost of the components ordered this past week.

GPU: MSI Twin Frozr II/OC GTX560 1G GDDR5 Video Card GIFT ♣
GTX 560 that I ordered last night.  Inferior MSI version sells for $332.32 at overpriced mega markup Wal-Mart after tax.  Covered on my expense as a gift but sold the 9800 GT to help offset the cost:

This build would pull around 430W at full load, so that leaves you with major room for an upgrade in GPU down the road (say GTX 580).
