    9. When are you purchasing? [~2 months]

    11. Also need a strong case as will be transporting to quite a few lans, current case isn't holding up well and I also need to be able to lock it. Was looking at the Thermaltake Chaser Mk-1, friend has an older thermaltake case. It's fairly heavy but incredibly strong! Took a substantial chunk out of a stud wall and not a bother to it!

    Thanks for the help, I had a look at some components already. Do people here think I should wait for Ivy Bridge, I know the sandybridge was a huge improvement over the previous generation but not to sure about the next generations boost in performance?

    I'm goin to be purchasing the case in the next 2-3 weeks anyways. does anybody here know what the delivery cost would be for the case from hardwareversand?
