Well guys, about a month ago I took some time away from computer gaming, sold my rig, bought me a laptop. Now I am ready to get back into the gaming again! I am about to be in some great money soon, so I dont think money is a problem here. I want a shuttle system, with LCD and everything, for I guess around $2k-$2.5k. The rig I had before so listed below. I have kept out of the way of hardware since then, so I am not sure what is new, and whats not anymore. Please get me back up to speed, thanks again!
 
SN25P
4400+ X2 (or 4000+ or FX57 or FX 60 deppending Dual core or not and how much budget stays for CPU)
2x 1GB Corsair XL
Raptor 150 for Windows and WD 400 RE2 for storage
Nec 3560
7800GTX
Logitech G15 keyboard, Razer Copperhead, RatPadz
Samsung 940BF 2 mS 19"
Steelpad Steel 5H USB Headset (It hass 7,1 USB sound card ideal for FPS)


Some people will say 2405 Dell but 19"2 mS screen runs 1280x1024 resolution and GTX can run it with all eyecandy and with great video quality without lag on monitor.

if u'd prefer the shuttle G chassis to the P chassis, wait a couple weeks and the sn21g5 will be released, using the c51 chipset.
 
Since you are a gamer - I would also recommend waiting a few weeks for the Shuttle SN21G5

SN21G5 $350
X2 4800+ $630
2x 1GB Corsair XMS $240
Samsung 250GB SATA2 $125
Nec 3560 $50
EVGA 7800GTX $450
Dell 2005FPW $500
Creative X-Fi $125
 
I have an SN25P very close to the one posted, but here is a way to make it better:

SN25P
4400+ X2
2x 1GB Corsair XMS C2
Raptor 150 for Windows and Hitach 500 for storage
ATI X1900XTX (yes it will fit)
BenQ DW1655 Lightscribe
Wolfclaw keyboard (its a gaming rig), Logitech G5, Steel Pad S&S SOLO
Dell 2405FPW as bigger is better (though not as fast as the Samsung 940 or the Viewsonic VX924
Creative audigy 2 zs video and Audio Technica ATH-A500 headphones
Pic a mic any mic
 
the only problem w/ the "bigger is better" theory is that it also shortens the useable lifetime of his video card, since higher resolution needs more power so it'll fall behind sooner. i'd say a 19" is big enough. completely up to the buyer though.

Right. Because if you run at non native the monitor will scream and then explode in your face.

Honestly I am tired of people saying LCD cannot do anything below native, they can and it looks fine.
 
I'd go x1900xt over the 7800gtx for an extra $40...The xtx is another $100 on top of that for a small bump in clocks, no way I'd go that route.
