Need to buy a new board and chip

[opeth]

I have to rebuild 2 gaming systems. On both of those systems I already have two ATI Radeon 9800pro cards. Memory is also not an issue.

Basically I am looking for advice on
1. Processor and Motherboard
2. Case/Powersupply

These two machines are stationary and will not be modded so i dont need anything fancy on them. A good powersupply with easy of setup is what I am looking for.

I have about $1000 to put into this upgrade so I figure this is where I want to spend the money. I have always gone with AMD so I am guessing AMD64 is the way to go.

Thanks

I really like the Aspire X-Alien cases. Well built and sharp looking. Gigabyte socket 939 board with A64-3500 would be just peachy.
