Hi guys, i'm new her. I'm looking to upgrade my computer, here is what i have already:
256mb xfx 7900gt with zalman cooler
2x1gb 4-4-4-12 g.skill ddr2 ram
8 hdd. 2 are IDE the rest are sata
2 IDE optical drives
I'm thinking of getting:
e6600 core 2 duo
asus p5w deluxe since it has support for 4 IDE devices.
a ninja cpu cooler
seasonic 700w psu
I need a good case for cooling and quietness. It also needs to house 8 hdd. Any recommendations for case, motherboard and psu?
thanks
Need some advice on upgrade

I was thinking of something like the Lian Li PC-A10 Aluminum Case. Its got room for 5 hdd in the allocated cages. I could put the remaining 3 in a 2x5.25 sata bay adapter since that case has so many spare.
I'd rip out the fdd converter leaving me room to add a kama bay for extra air input.
The reason for the 700w ps was that i was planning on getting ati's dx10 graphics card when it comes out.
