    If you're looking for more hard drive space, I will suggest you pick up a WD Caviar SE16 WD7500AAKS. It's access time of 13.3ms can't compete with the Raptor's average 8ms, but it trumps all other drives and the I/O performance is above that of other 7200 rpm hard drives. Same price(ish) with the 150GB raptor, and is actually surprisingly on par with it other than the access time.

    If you do want to go Raptor, Raid two 74GB Raptors! bwahaha

    You absolutely do not need this rig to play wow at all. That said, nice rig.

    I also prefer this for a heat sink.

    I also have a case preference...

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119047

    Selling points include:

    - 100% screw free (except mobo mounts)
    - No rails needed for drive mounts, just slide in and lock in place
    - No useless front door/panel (these usually just break anyway)
    Firanja - Medicor Mortuus
    Andaas Taranis - Druidicus Corpsus
    Andae - Clericus Inanimis
