No, you can't have mine...

Seriously though, you need to start with a budget. Next look at what you want to play and at what resolution. Then have a look at the performance charts for CPU's and GPU's to help you decide on the guts of your system.

Price vs performance is everything, unless you are one of those really rich, really clueless people that have tons of money but no computer savvy.

lol. Are you just looking for a case with a lot of room for components? (that also looks mean/serious/wicked/etc)

The most popular pc case with hardcore gamers is the Antec Nine Hundred. It is Antec's best selling case. Ventilation, airflow, and cooling are excellent.

OTOH, the cable management isn't that good unless you do a little work.

But you shouldn't need to.

jsc - very nice mod.

My new Lian Li / Lancool Dragon Lord case will arrive today. Hoping I won't have to do any mods. Well......hmmmmm......I'll probaly do some sort of mod. I just can't resist making a few changes to improve ventilation, airflow, cooling, and cable management.

Whoops, I misread the question a bit. My bad...
