Self-build Shopping list?

[aprisa]

I fancy having a go at building my next office PC, I used to do so but have used Evesham for the last few.

I know its cheap and tacky but I quite fancy a see-thru case and a few led's

I usually use Misco for parts etc and am bemused by the choice of motherboards and processors/sinks etc and also graphics etc. Don't want to go overboard but also don't want mis-matched products. Need to end up with a fairly high spec business PC with firewire, plenty of USB2's, multi card readers and fast DVDRW, 2 HDDS, a gig of RAM etc.

Anybody care to put forward a shopping list or suggestions, maybe if you've done it yourself lately and it works well, a copy of yours?

Many thanks
Nick
