15000RPM drives aren't new at all. At least not for SCSI. Now if there's an SATA version, yeah, that's new.

Hey, get one of those fridge cases!

This computer definitely needs a RAID-0 15K SCSI drive setup.

4 of these:

You should get a server mobo with dual socket 940s and get him 2 opterons. Most mobos with dual processor support also have room for 8 or more gigs of RAM. If he wants to supermultitask, you should go with 2 processors. If he games, the FX-60 is prefect. OC it to like 3 Ghz and use water cooling.

insetad of those, i would go with the Z-5500's. they sound amazing and you dont have to use a lot of your budget on speakers.

that is if he/she doesnt mind wires.
