Well thanks for the info; I'll keep it in mind.

Well I'm not a trained welder - been learning on the job. So I'm just the Welder if the space is vacant or the main guy is sick; otherwise I'm just out in the yard hauling crap around, helping customers pick up orders.

Right now I'm a student up at UAF - but darnit, I'll find time to play games if it kills me. In the summers/holidays I work as a welder/laborer. Yeah, I guess it's alright in the summer. Haha, Pretty used to it after nineteen years. I'm not particular about summer/winter; plenty of activities...

Nah, Fairbanks.

Thanks for the suggestions Why_me; total cost went down a bit, although shipping and handling sure hurts here in Alaska. You live here too? Or do you just like the Aces? So should I dump some of those smaller fans I threw on there earlier? I'm trying to figure out what fans the cases actually...

So I was going about buying fans, but then I started thinking about it; how many fans will I really need to keep this thing going as it currently is? The case comes with three stock, and I have another four on the list, currently waiting to be purchased. Is that over-kill for the current set-up?

Alright, I'll go ahead and change out the ram for what ps3 suggested, but I think I'll stick with my chosen PSU for now.

ps3: Is there a particular reason you would change the ram to that? I mean, I'll take your word for it - I only picked mine because it was similar to the original build's, except twice the ram for the exact same price. But yours is only a dollar less, and is still the same amount of ram. Do you...

Would it be a reasonable idea to look at water cooling over a half dozen fans in the case? Or are there any fans in specific that anyone can recommend that could help keep the noise level down a bit - it looks like I've got room for at least three more 140mm fans, and then around five more fans...

Okay, so I've never even thought about building my own pc until a short time ago, and now that I'm attempting it there is... well there sure is a lot to research and learn. So I decided to try and take the easy route using one of the prebuilt computer guides in Tecmo's Recommended builds by...
