iEvolutions, well, I looked at one of the cases on the page you mentioned and it looked allright, but it seemed more like a big aluminum box to me. It also said that it had two front USB ports but no power supply. This case would not be for me. My new case has two front USB ports, a front Firewire port and it comes w/a 420 Watt PSU (70 Watts more powerful than what I was using). It also comes w/three case fans (like the one in the picture) plus the PSU fans. As for the color, I like the Aluminum (silver) color, but mine is done in a Midnight Blue which I really like. So I would say to consider the cases on that page, but maybe look around for something a little "cooler looking" if you will. It all depends where your tastes run and what you can afford. My case was $139 (US Dollars) and to me is worth every penny. I'll try to get some digital pics of it and post em up for all to see.
As for the AMD price drop, I'm not exactally sure. But it would seem if AMD's prices dropped elsewhere (like the USA) then why shouldn't they have dropped in Canada as well. Just a thought.
sincerely,

Here is the case that I'm gonna get for my new comp (Lian-Li PC-7). It has 2 fans in front and one in the back. It is made entirely out of aluminum and it has 2 front usb ports. It doesn't have one of those acrylic windows (I dont need/want one) but you can get different models that have them, but they start @ $150 US

. Here is newegg's entire list of Lian-Li cases. Newegg doesn't ship outside of the US so you will have to find another retailer if you want to get one of those cases.
