Re: OT: If You Were Going To Build A New PC
That looks like a good list, though I would add a second Hard Drive for obvious safety/segregation reasons. (Or are they not "obvious"...)
In-as-far-as choosing: I go with what I know, or what other people are recommending or having success with. I build my own machines and hand-pick the components. I chose the case on the basis of looks (why build a spanky-new blazing-fast machine if you can't show it off?) and the capacity for expansion. Also, having plenty of space in the machine for circulation is important. Spend some extra dollars on upgraded IDE cables for that reason (the slim, round ones) and zip-tie all your extra, dangling power-supply cables up out of the way too.
