Just a general overview like large/small case, has flashy or cool stuff and the like and maybe a simple tip to building a nice machine. :)

oh ok. I like medium to large cases. Neat cables but not to an extreme. I like black. Doesn't have to be quiet but tolerably loud. Main thing is fast.

Tip on building. Don't rush when putting it together, and don't force anything.

Black, quality parts, discreet, overclocked, quiet, fairly fast, stable :D

As for tips on building:

Don't skimp on the PSU.
Before selecting a case consider that you'll have to look at it for some time, flashy gets annoying over time from experence.
Also consider possible fanconfigurations, if at all possible get a case that only utilizes 120mm+ fans, nobody enjoys jetturbines in their homes...
Stable OC's can save you a bit of money as opposed to getting higher clocked CPUs to begin with, same goes for GPUs.
Consider what you want to be able to do before selecting hardware, 8800Ultras are not needed for Tetris.
Consider your upgrade cycle and NEVER go top of the line, it's overly expensive compared to performancegains over second best.
RAM is CHEAP at the moment, exploit it! :D

Is this what you were looking for? :)

ROFL... reminds me of that one quote...

When you kill 5 people...
In Unreal Tournament it's a "Monster Kill"
In Quake 3 it's "Excellent"
In Counter-Strike it's "You have been kicked and banned by the server admin"

Anyhow, to describe my computer: cheap but good/fast (nothing was bought at full price)

How to build one? just wait for deals if you can. Tips? check out flipflopsnowmans thread in GenHard (the sticky).

Thank you for the advise. I can always use additional information since I change my machine so much!
