Lian-li for the case, the V-cool range looks nice and a double 12v rail modular psu, i have a Hiper TypeR 580 watt modular psu, pc world sell the psu for £59.99 when you order online - delivery/store collection.

It's not THAT bad. Okay so it uses more memory than most people actually have, even when it's doing nothing, but it's pretty and that's important. Everyone loves to watch me tab windows around. lol

It's very stable though, something XP wasn't when that was new.

If I was building a new PC for home I'd put Vista on, but not for work.

My point exactly, XP has had time to mature and is a reletivly decent OS now. Vista is a whole new can of worms...

If you want fancy windows and tabbing, use XGL/Compiz etc on linux as it blows vitsa away.. its also better in every way than XP and Vista.

Nice cases btw.. love the sleek look even though im more into mini pc's

Very happy with it but depends if you want to spend that much and also if you need all the drive bays. I have 8 HDD in mine so was one of the only suitable cases I could find.
