I ordered a new PC @ tones.be (a belgian store).

I'm quite fond of the ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe motherboard, it has the ability to connect a whopping 14 devices ... 2 SATA controllers provide you with space for 8 devices, 1 other controller gives you 4 old fashioned ATA connections and there is a small, build-in controller for 2 disks.
Added to the motherboard is an AMD ATHLON64 3200+ running on a 939 socket, juiced with 1024 MB of RAM.
The case was something I had to think over alot of times, not sure I bought the right one in the end but the ANTEC Plusview 1000AMG is what I ordered in the end. Other viable options were the Thermaltake cases (Shark for example).
The graphics card was another issue, I'm somewhat a fan of the Radeon family, but the 9800 is kinda out-of-date and the X800 is somewhat expensive. LEADTEK PX6600GT PCX Geforce 6600GT was the only option left. Leadtek, because that was about the only brand they sold featuring a 6600GT, it's PCX (so is my motherboard) and I can replace it later if need be.
Default stuff like the NEC 3500 DVD reader/writer and a harddisk from SEAGATE (200GB 8MB SATA150) are added too.

This PC is supposed to go on for the coming 3 to 4 years, and I don't think that will be a problem.
