I'm not too concerned about the case, this machine won't be in a hot area or have much going on inside. I had the model 310, and was happy with it until I couldn't fit 3 video cards in it. Otherwise I thought it was sturdy and the price is good here so no big deal to me. I Haven't got Windows 7 listed because I don't know if I'll just reuse my copy of Vista or not but I can pick it up later if I need to. I have monitor, mouse, keyboard. Suppose I do buy Windows 7, which version? I was just going to do home premium...
