I have been dreaming about building a real gaming system for years. I keep upgrading parts when new parts are developed. I currently have a list, but wish to get imput from others if they think this system would work well or if they have any other parts that might work better than what I have already. All these parts can be found at Newegg.com

-Enermax Chakra ATX mid Tower Computer Case--$70
-Thermaltake A2349 Intelligent Fan Control System--$43
-2 Kingwin F-012BB 120mm Case Fans--$12

Look at the left hand column under "Buyer Guides"
A couple times a year, Sharkey's puts out these buyer guides looking at the best gaming system for a given budget.
They have a value ($1000 budget) guide, high-end ($2500), and extreme ($4000) categories.
They also have pretty good discussions about why they picked the hardware they picked. I used them to build my last PC and I had a great experience.
Hope this helps.|||I can find much cheaper parts and build you a better gaming computer cheaper then you think.
