Question ??Build Up Questions?? confused.....

Im thinking of ordering a Gaming Rig through www.digitalstormonline.com. I have a build completed and saved on there site...Refrence Number #4192. Just go to http://www.digitalstormonline.com/co...ed.asp?id=4192 and click load at the bottom and put in that number and youll get my build so far...

My questions are, in the CPU cooling column it has the option for 4 extra silent fans, fan controller, and silent CPU fan.
Further down in the case lighting it has the option for a cold cathode light and LED fans. My case comes with two 8mm LED fans http://digitalstormonline.com/cart/product.asp?id=22857 do I need the extra fans for cooling or is the stock ones enough and if I dont get the extra fans through the CPU cooling menu does it comes with extra fans in the Case Lighting menu since it says led fans?

If I stay with just the stock fans will it light up the inside of the case enough to look good?

One last thing is the stock 400w Power Supply enough?

The power supply you've selected is a ThermalTake 480W, which is a good quality power supply and is more than adequate for that system, check out Bigandy's power supply reference guide:

Has anyone else noticed that Digital Storm's website has a few spelling mistakes on it like they sell Ultra Violent round cables?

Nice looking selection so far.

No hard drive or optical drive or video card yet tho.

I hear those thermaltake butterfly psu's are pretty good. I wouldnt use the psu that comes with that case, get the 480watt thermaltake butterfly psu for sure.

The supplied case fans are enough for adequate cooling. If you want good lighting use a cold cathode.

The prices for the parts seem high though, you could build it much cheaper.

Where could I find a PC site that would build it any cheaper? Ive searched for like 2 months and digitalstormonline or Cyberpower is the cheapest. Ive been to newegg and other such sites gathering prices on building it my self, and it always comes out to be same price or a little more.

I have my own video card, hard drive, audio card, cd drives, and monitor.

Ya They Have Alot Of Spelling Errors....makes ya wonder if that cant spell, how good could they build...LOL

I use www.ebuyer.com. I am in the uk but I have gone to the usa site and compared a couple of products to digitalstorm and ebuyer seems cheaper.
