buy a funky lan party motherboard, and slap a nice 3200xp in there, £230
ati 9800 should do at £125
with some drives, 2 samsung spin points for £100, 2x80gig SATA, with RAID
a good case from coolermaster is not cheap but will last you and you can get one with loads of drive bays just in case,
a cd/ dvd re-writer will set you back about £50
and a silent pure power psu from thermaltake at £60 for a good peice of 450W!!
= £775 i think then whatever else you need spend a bit more on, easy peasy, look at all the choises

Exactly what I thought of... RX800 and 3500+ being the favorites.muckshifter said:
Only one question remains, namely that of RAM. Should i go for PC4000 as it is in tune with the FSB of 1000MHz(although it would probably need some tuning in the BIOS), or for PC3200 with ultra low latencies? Pricewise they're not much different and their latencies are also very close, 2 vs 2.5?
