Ok, the tower is perfectly fine if you like all those lights and fancy
doo-dads. We already know that the video card you selected will fit in it
and I already told you that the video card is a good choice.
Just pick one of the optical drives. Either one will allow you to burn both
CDs and DVDs, regardless of type (DVD+ vs. DVD-).
A System Restore disk set from an OEM system won't help you here. you need
a full install disk for whatever OS you plan to install.
I'll see if I can get that site to the point where it has your selections
just to see what cooling options they offer. I'll then give you my
recommendation based on that list. It'll likely be tomorrow before I get to
it because I'm currently in the midst of a really tough remote malware
removal session (4 1/2 hours so far - just waiting for the person to reboot
and invite me back).
Peace,
Gman
