Looks good to me mate.

The only change I'd suggest, I reckon, would be to ditch the floppy drive and include a 3.5" Fan controller unit instead.

Need to install Windows again?

Why not get both, theirs two 3.5 slots

That was actually what I was going to look for right now, fan controller units. http://www.xoxide.com/5fanco1.html Thats a great selection there of 5.25 units; maybe i'll get the Kingwin Black LCD Fan Controller because it matches the case and looks like you can pick bombing targets for the army from it lol.

Newegg just rose the price of the 3500+ from $352.00 to $439.00 and zipzoomfly is out of stock and tigerdirect doesnt sell socket 939 equiptment. Looks like I have to wait all over again... Almost makes me want to go and get a pentium 3.2 or something (nothing bad against pentium i just wanted to try out AMD).
