Just recently (today, in fact), I finished building my first custom PC. However, when I hooked it up to a monitor using a motherboard vga connection (the only monitors I have access to currently) the screen remained black. The computer turned on, motherboard green-lit and power LED's were on...

Over the past while, I've been getting PC parts together so that I can have a dedicated gaming PC. For a while, I had my heart set on the Corsair 300R, but I've recently decided to go looking through cases again. Now I'm not sure if I should get the Corsair 300R, the Fractal Design R4 or R5, or...
