Welcome to PCA, now, as to your question, how much money you want to spend on that case and power supply? You want a big, fancy, case? Or you want something to hold the parts, and do it's job unobtrusively? Lot of variables there. From around $100 to $300 of them

For cases I would sugest eithor of these: http://www.kdcomputers.com/eui/prime/pr ... ponent.htm or http://www.kdcomputers.com/eui/prime/pr ... ponent.htm very good price on them there. PS's just get an antec dual fan, they are not that expensive, are pritty quiet, and proform well.

oh....right
sorry about my lack of consideration.

I want a 400watt of psu but I don't know which company make the best psu for p4 system

as for case, I want a case that is large enough put my componet in. Also, i would prefer an aluminin case since it cool stuff very fast..

about money, psu i can spend 200 -300, i can do that same on the case.

thanks for the input.

Just noticed you had Pc800 in there. With the 2.26B thats a 133FSB so your gonna need PC1066 or really good PC800 that will run at a 133 FSB. Just thought i'd point that out to ya.

Well this is the PS for you then: http://www.kdcomputers.com/eui/prime/pr ... ponent.htm its 380w but it has about as much power as the 431w enermax oens.

and as for aluminum cases High speed is a good place to try: http://www.highspeedpc.com/cat20.htm
