    .. of buying a new case and PSU.
    Is this one right for me? LINK

    My current computer is in a crappy standard Dell case.
    Here are the specs...

    Processor:
    Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 4300 @ 1.80GHz (2 CPUs), ~1.8GHz
    Memory:
    2046MB RAM
    Hard Drive:
    239 GB
    Video Card:
    NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS

    I'm not sure about the motherboard, but its whatever comes standard with a Dimension E520.

    If its a bad case/bundle please tell me, and hopefully you'll be kind enough to recommend one.

    Thanks for the advice.

    No it`s not a bad bundle, but if your new to computers, I would highly recommend bringing it to a computer shop or a friend that can help put your dell`s motherboard inside of your new case.
    I also order from tiger direct.ca and they are pretty damn good but be aware that there is a Newegg.ca now which is also great.

    Are Dell motherboards particularly hard to install into new cases?
    I would go to a computer store, but here in Ottawa there aren't many specialized computer stores. The two that my family went to closed down about a year ago :(.
