Monitor << More storage 
Seriously though, I've had this monitor for a number of years and apart from a short period of petulance it's been perfect. I don't see the benefits of buying a new monitor whereas the benefits of other parts of the system are very clear to see (so to speak).

FX5200 (Replacing very soon)
WD 80GB SATA HD
White one is my old:
Athlon 1200
512mb RAM
40gb Seagate HD
SiS630/730
Pride of the kit is my new monitor which is a 19" Widescreen Proview.

That Core 2 Duo is amazing.
I've just got my new HP laptop.
1.8Ghz Core 2 Duo
1GB RAM
160GB HD
GeForce Go 7400
15'4 Widescreen
I'm running Vista on it, the little bar at idle says both Cores are running at 0%. Even though the GPX card isn't that great, it plays most games pretty well. My Picture shows me playing FSX on Ultrahigh detail with no slowdown. I've been playing the demo version of Supreme Commander on medium settings flawlessly and I can run FEAR at 1200x800 fine as long as the lighting effects are turned off.
(I'll post a better picture later)
Other computer still the same old crappy 3200+ Athlon64. Which now gets 'Machine Check Error' BSOD every day. Oh well...Got the new, faster, quieter, more portable rig now

I splurged on my rig about three months ago (last computer i built was in 2001, about time for a damn upgrade.. saved for quite a few months for this one), here's what i got. I have nicknamed her the "bastion of hope against moore's law". rofl 
It's all housed in a Gigabyte 3D Aurora Black Aluminum case. I love it.
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ - cooled by a Zalman 9700 fan (all copper)
4GB DDR2 800 RAM (Crucial Ballistix 4x 1GB sticks)
Gigabyte GA-M59SLI-S5 nForce 590 motherboard
COOLMAX 700watt active PFC power supply
BFG Tech Geforce 8800GTX, 768MB
4 Seagate Barracuda 250GB 7200RPM HDDs, in a RAID 5 array
1 Western Digital Raptor X 150GB 10K RPM HDD
All displaying on a 22" widescreen Viewsonic X-Series VX2235WM, in black.
This is the first time I've had the cash to do anything nice for myself so I went all out on this one, at least as much as I could. The motherboard was on sale at newegg for like two months and then they pulled it. I don't know why, it's a FANTASTIC board. I'm absolutely smitten with it and would wholeheartedly recommend it for a gaming rig.

Dude, we have the same case! Heavy bugger, isn't it? You should do the cable management thing and route the PSU cables in the space at the back.
EDIT: And fit that PSU cage thingy. It just looks cool. And was the GPU cooler hard to fit? I have a GTS as well and while in range, the card runs a little too hot for my liking.

Because I have my processor water cooled I have more then enough space for my GPU cooler. The cool thing about the heat sink is that it can be placed in the other direction as well. Here's the link if your interested http://www.thermalright.com/default.htm Your going to be looking for the VGA cooler HR-03 Plus Anyways im running temps at about 47ºc-49ºc with my fan. under load it's about 52ºc-54ºc. But Im using a very loud fan. Its Vantec's Tornado. But like you said the case is heaving and it does quite down the fan than if it was being used in say another common case. I would recommend getting a switch for the fan. Its what i have so when im in game i turn it on when im not. There is no need for the fan to be on.Dude, we have the same case! Heavy bugger, isn't it?

Time for my glorious desk and its surrounding area to be shown off... just be afraid...
The desk... simple enough...
Stuff on wall to the left of Desk...
Bookshelf to the right of the desk...
Next to the book shelf, hobby area...
Under desk area, storage, etc...
Except for the lamp and pillow, which I lean on when reading... (Yes, I read under my desk) Plus the lamp makes it easier to keep track of cables, etc...

Hahaha, no. Its actually so I can read and not see my monitors at all. Find I get through my text books a bit quicker when I can still listen to music, but don't see new incoming messages on AIM and crap. Plus the light down there makes organizing cables a whole helluva lot easier. What I really need is one of those pillows that has the armrests, etc.
I did add another desk though to the area, so I now have a walk in desk basically
