sff experts and club members....lend me your skillz

I want to build myself my first SFF system sometime soon. I have built one comp before, but it was a regular tower...so this is my first venture into the mini realm.

I am going to use this for:
-Gaming
-Listening to music
-Web browsing
-Doing homework

I am not going to use this for:
-Photoshop/similar apps
-overclocking

I havt $2250 to spend! All i need is the case w/all necessary components and a monitor [preferrably a LCD Widescreen]. Let me know what you would build!
 
Overclocking facilitates
-Gaming
-Listening to music
-Web browsing
-Doing homework
No reason not to!

The aspire X-QPACK has windows...but its a more 'cubey' case and bigger
 
Here is my suggestions (depending on the type of gaming you wish to do).

Qpack
AMD 4000+ or 4400+
MSI mATX mobo (since you aren't overclocking...either ATi or nvidia chip)
7900gtx or 1900xtx video card
2gb of ram..any well do but I have mushkin which is kick ass
Seagate harddrive (never not get a seagate...people may disagree with me but after many harddrives in my time I wouldn't do anything else)
PSU....errr, everyone says the liberty so go with that I suppose
Sound card: up to you....I honestly don't haer much difference in the audigy and the xfi...but then again I can't hear at all half the time.


Everything else, just pick up something that has good ratings :) I like viewsonic for monitors...19"
