Picking a Monitor and Case - Are These Good Choices?

    Final queries on my choices for a new setup.

    Monitor wise, I'm thinking Samsung 19" LCD Syncmaster 930BF TCO-99 Monitor, DVI-D, D-sub, 4ms URL="http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=311134"]link[/URL - anyone had any experience with this range? And is a 4ms response noticably better than Samsung's cheap Samsung 19" LCD Syncmaster 913N URL="http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=306235"]link[/URL? I know the former has a DVI input but is that something I'd really, truly appreciate in gaming or is it more something you'd see editing something like a hi-res photo?

    Second question is on case. I'm looking at the hieftec BX-03 Medium Tower URL="http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=316552"]link[/URL and it seems fairly decent. It will need to house:
    * 2 S-ATA HDs
    * 2 DVD-drives (possibly 1..)
    * Graphics card
    * Athlon 64 X2 + mainboard

    A 400W supply should cover all that I imagine with little difficulty. Anyone had any experience with this brand or advice?

    Cheers!

    I'm stuck between the Syncmaster 930BF and theSyncmaster 940B . The 940 gets a great review but there is also alot of happy customers on komplett with their 930BF :confused:

    Take a look at the Antec Sonata II €129 for a case and a quality 450W PSU.

    Would second the sonata if you want a fairly compact midi tower that won't take up half the room and is quiet. A great case.

    Chieftech do make good solid well built cases, they are a bit big though.

    PSU's are fairly good in em too.

    If you plan on lashing in plenty of hard drives get the chieftech.
