hardware design issues and questions

[Tyler Littlefield]

    Hello list,
I'm designing a computer off of tiger direct.
I have a quick question.
Do I have to buy a barebone kit? or... can I buy a case?
I was told that I had to buy a case designed specifically for the motherboard.
Also, does a hd when you buy it come with IDE cables?
thanks,
~~TheCreator~~

You don't need to buy a barebone kit.  Doing that just makes a bit 
easier since you get case/motherboard/psu.  Just make sure the case 
you buy fits the motherboard you get.  Like if you buy a standard atx 
case, bet a standard atx motherboard, or a mini-atx case with mini-atx 
motherboard.

No, hard disks don't come with ribbon cables (at least all the ones 
I've gotten haven't).  The cables usually come with your motherboard.
