    I think i would get a 19inch TFT and dump the 17inch.

    Rest looks fine unless u want to go 775 and use the new intel chip which is better then the AM2. All u would need to do is get a differint Mobo and cpu the rest will work.

    You could get a cigerette lighter for the front bay and some silly lights to pimp it out. :D The lighters dead handy.

    Speakers?

    Keyboard and mouse? I seen some cool backlit keyboards on Overclockers.

    Do you need/want this PC ASAP or can you wait for Intels new chip, I've decided to wait. well, I have to wait for the SSIA to come through anyway. Then I'm going to go nuts, screw the monitor I'm going for a projector:D

    If your changin chip i'd say go fro conroe. Not goin into why cos there are loads of threads ere that explain that. :D
    600w psu is not too much. consider that if you go for a sli or xfire board you'll prob add another gpu in the future and possibly soundcard, hd's, phys-x card etc. 600w will save you in the long run.
