Just rang up Overclock.co.uk and spent £263.41 on some bits for my new PC, which should be delivered to me by tomorrow! Yay! 
So I've just ordered...
Antec PlusView 1000AMG without PSU
Aerocool Aeropower II+ Acrylic-Titanium Plated 550W inc. UK power cord
2 x Titan Aerofoil Aluminium Fan 120mm 3pin Retail
2 x Vantec Fan Vibration Dampener Kit (120mm)
Zalman ZM-MFC1 6-Channel Fan Controller
2 x Mitron Halo Fan 80mm (UV)
Akasa Fan Nebula with 4 Colour Blade illumination
Also ordered from Argos, Challenge Xtreme 130 Watt Rotary Tool Kit which cost £23.99, and will do nicely to cut up the new case once it arrives 
Can't wait till tomorrow now WOOOO!!

you`re like a kid at christmas.
Sorting your cooling out ready for summer huh? I know what si would say, air cooled systems waste of money etc etc.
I have 8 fans in my case, lowered case temp from 25-27 degrees to whatever room temp is.

thing is, the 2 120mm fans are for the radiator, gona be a nice water-cooled PC by time I'm done with it...
Corsa-Hybrid too cos is using the heater matrix as the cooling rad 
The other 3 fans will be blowing the air out of the case which is fed in via the rad, plus there mostly for show too

ah them 120mm vantec fans are fucking brilliant. I ordered one to replace the front 120mm fan on my 4U rackmount server in my bedroom. It isnt a killer on the ears anymore

Was out fr me din dins 
Ok the 'Current' spec sheet will be an AMD AthlonXP 3200+ (unlocked)
DFI LanParty NFII Ultra-B (Socket-A) Motherboard
GeForce FX 5950 ULTRA
1Gb DDR400 Ram
160Gb SATA HDD (or maybe IDE, unsure yet)
Some other bits & bobs which I'll sort out when I get round to it Also I haven't got any of the internals as yet, so the spec may change a bit more!
Lookin at gettin the Athlon from 2.2GHz to around 2.5GHz, so quite a jump, it is possible too as I've heard of quite a few people being able to do this!
ICY do you mean the Titan fans? If so its £11.94 ex VAT (for the 120mm ones that is, there are 80mm ones available from the same site!)
http://www.overclock.co.uk/customer/product.php?productid=16441&cat=
Also the 300W PSU won't last long! Try get a 450W + PSU, will be a bit more healthier!! As for the amount of fans, 2 x exhaust fans at rear, 1 x intake at front & HDD Coolers all the way
