Huh?
The poor guy justs wants advise. I don't think people should be going around dissing everyone's advice.
He clearly appreciates all the input including yours, however, none of us appreciates when someone starts to critisize people like they don't know what they are talking about. I am getting sick and tired of people criticizing other people. No one asks for it, so please keep comments on other comments crime to a minimum. I am speaking for everyone. Way too many forums get locked because of this kind of behavior, and who does it harm? the guy who only wants some advice. I'm not trying to sound like a moderator or anything, but we are all grown men here. Let's please act it.
Just to be clear I wasn't the first to directly criticize an individual. It was said I gave the worst advice ever given. So it would be proper to complain in response to that post instead or just let it go entirely.
To be clear further though, my lengthy post was not meant to entirely be directed towards that person, even if a paragraph was. It was actually trying to make a larger point, to which I guess everyone will be blinded from trying to understand vs simply getting angry which is so far from the intent. Even that paragraph, if you read it for meaning, wasn't meant as a direct attack vs an illustration of a point which I then included myself in multiple times. Im not even aware of threads on this board that ever even discussed the 3 other example points I gave.
My views are neutral, which should be overwhelmingly apparant to anyone whose actually read for content my postings. I don't care for extremisms in most any opinion including ones that say all pre-built PCs are crap, overpriced, or whatever. Different things suit different situations. My main reason for posting at all was to show that there is another side/school of thought/etc. to which the author of the thread has already acknowledged some validity in even if a preference in one direction vs the other has been given.. To which I will gladly adapt any further advice I give in the thread and had already in my above post.
No way this thread will be locked right now. My posts have plenty of on-topic and positive content. Worst case it might have hijacked the thread into a separate but concurrent discussion around my philosophical statements around internet postings (Which is not against any forum rules most anywhere including here). The fastest way to a locked thread is actually more posts like yours which don't contribute at all but rather sparks replies like this one which also don't contribute and so on. So lets all act like grown men and not fuel a fire that was already burnt out with only a few ashes left IMHO anyway.
So................
What does anyone think about my case, power, cooling suggestions? On the money or over-paranoid? Even more critical component to a home built PC.... Thumbscrews... or else your gonna get so darn sick of putting the screws in and out that you'll end up just leaving the case sides off most of the time which can go right back to the cooling problems.
And panzers I do love you also. 
I will take that as man love.
But, seriously, I look at your number of posts and mine and it is clear who has been around longer. And while I appreciate you and everyone else to keep this a enjoyable experience where gamers like you and I have this great opportunity to talk on roundtable fashion, You must know how many times Erok has been forced to lock up threads because there is always someone the wants to knock down someone's opinion, or throw off the topic to the point where everyone is suddenly in a pissing match. I have been offended on several occasions, some of them down right blatently. I just get sick of all the infighting with certain people. Now I know you as much as anyone in here which is zilch. All I care about is that we all get together, be responsible, and enjoy the fact that there are so few of us out there. I'm sorry if you thought I was singling you out, I guess I just saw another good thread about to go bad, and it always starts out so innocently. I know you have been there. You have 1,302 reasons to prove it. As for my own post, I don't see why that wouls spark contraversy other than risking Erik's wrath for trying to cool off a subject before he does which is his job. I agree with you that I need to rephrase what I originally said to: let's just let it go entirely. No hard feelings. never had them at any point, at least in this thread.

RE: Need Computer Advice - 
That is entry level knowledge that, while not negating the accuracy of any advice rendered in and of itself, certainly calls into question for me the true background and experience obtained by said individual. Of course I might actually agree with everything he said (were you to be looking to build your own machine), but that isn't the point I've been trying to make...
