WOW that is a big difference

Summary:
1.8ghz AMD Barton and Mobo to support it

Cool & Cheap blue case to mod in the future
The reason for some cheap things, case, low space HDD, etc. is because i'm tight on money for now, and i can upgrade those parts later. Most important is the processor, ram, gfx, monitor for now
Please tell me your opinions or if i should change something for something else, cheaper and better or w/e. thanks
