case and lighting is down to you, its your case so you should decide how it looks, hard drive really depend on how much space you personally need i can survive fine on a 20gb and for back up i have a spare 80 gb for moniters i suggest going for a modern widescreen one, not the traditional square ones, between 19" and 22"

I was looking for people with suggestions on places where I could save money, or spend a tiny bit more and get a higher performance.

But yeah thanks for telling me everything I already know.
