    I bought an Alienware Area-51 back in 2004 and it has served me perfectly for the past 3 years. Now, its time to gut it and make it wonderful-er. Here's what I'm stickin in her..

    Motherboard:
    GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 (rev. 1.3) LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard

    Processor:
    Intel CPU Core 2 Duo E6320 1.86GHz FSB 1066MHz 4M LGA775

    Memory:
    OCZ OCZ2G8002GK 2GB Kit DDR2-800 PC2-6400 Gold Gamer eXtreme XTC Edition Dual Channel Memory

    Video:
    MSI NX8600GTS-T2D256E-OC GeForce 8600 GTS Overclock 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express Video Card w/Dual DVI

    Hard Drive(s):
    Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250620AS 250GB Serial ATA (3.0Gb/s) 7200RPM Hard Drive w/16MB Buffer

    The only thing I'd change is the video card. Get eVGA's flavor of that card. Shouldn't cost you all that much money and enroll in their trade-up program. For 3 months after you purchase your eVGA card they'll buy back your old card if you decide to upgrade to a newer card. I did with mine. Bought a 7900GS for around $180, then bought a 8800GTS for only $120. Had to send in my old 7900GS (so keep your old video (non-eVGA) card you're trading in now til then) and I couldn't be happier.
