Thats it - budget is the key here, but also - i would suggest that you seriously concider what you want at the end of the day. Do you want a fast PC or a Fast and the Furious PC?

The Lain Li cases are excellent, i have one myself and its well smart, but i had to cut and move a lot of stuff in my case to get my W/C in - however - i now have a pretty quiet and smart looking aluminium case. No windows or stuff like that so the looks of the innards are inconsequential to me, but i have seen people with Orange fans, and cable wraps / neon lights etc. Which are actually releatively cheap to buy.

If you want to O/C then you also need to concider what companents are right for you. Currently the chip to have for O/C is the Barton Core Amd 2500+ MOBILE chip. These will go in any current AMD motherboard thats worth its salt (the Abit N7F or the Asus Boards are a good start) and with decent cooling will reach about 2600Mhz. (A 3200+ runs at 2200 MHz for comparison). Not only is this a good chip its exceptionally cheap for the O/C your going to get.
