I was going to take my existing system and put it in this case and add another hard drive. Now I am looking at just building a new one. Target under 500 bucks (including motherboard, processor, graphics card, ram memory). I will just throw my two drives in for now and add a another drive later.

Any ideas or suggestions? I assume I need to target last generation's higher end gear.

Thanks
Not so. For 700 I put together a nice AM3 AMD system. It runs great and I really like.
