All right. My semester officially ends today, so I've already started planning my next project. I was thinking of going SFF because I wanted to try something different. Here's a preliminary parts list:
CASE: Thermaltake Lanbox Lite

PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower 650W
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16817153040
MOTHERBOARD: Foxconn G9657MA-8EKRS2H
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813186110
CPU: C2D E6600
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115003
MEMORY: Mushkin EM6400 (2 X 1GB)
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16820146118
HDD: Western Digital 320GB SATA II

ODD: Lite-on 20X DVD Burner

COOLING: Zalman CNPS 7700 || Thermaltake Blue Orb II
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118115

I'm going to reuse my X1950 pro and my Audigy 4. I don't see the point in using RAID 0, as it doesn't give you that much of a noticeable difference in gaming. My main issue is going to be the cooling. From the reviews I have read, the Blue Orb II seems to perform better, but the 7700 takes up less space. As always, I would appreciate y'alls input and advice.
