    Think that looks okay?

    questions...

    to wait for vista or not???

    to wait for dx10 cards or not.. I mean how long will it be before they drop in price to something resonable...

    any ideas on the case?? dont want lights or dozens of fans.. just screwless easy to open and good room ( to let me add a quieter fan in future if i need it )

    I dont see vista as that big of a deal yet. I would do that with komplett though as it would be handy for discounted vista. But it will be buggy and will have problems with the first release

    It's a tough call on the Vista decision. Last I heard it was delayed until early next year. Even then you have to wonder and worry about the usual run of security scares and compatibility problems that arise in the early stages. As for DX10 - I'd by something cheap like a 7600/7800 to tide you over until the cards come down in price (maybe 6 months?). Like Vista, I would assume there is going to be a period in the early sages where the problems outweigh the gains.

    :::Edit:::

    As for the case, I think that it's an excessive amount to pay if you are really only looking for a shell. Why not go for one of the cheaper Antec cases etc and save yourself €30.
