being that you are a mac user have you considered going SFF (small form factor)? shuttle makes some cool barebones systems that you can pop a gf4 into and have a pretty damn nice gaming rig. they arnt for everyone but if you like the idea of a small powerful pc you shout check it out. plus there is a huge community behind it! http://forums.sudhian.com/categories.cfm?catid=43 and http://www.sfftech.com
check this out http://us.shuttle.com/specs2.asp?pro_id=163 thats the shuttle SN41G2 which uses the NForce 2. which if you dont know is made by nvidia and is one of the better motherboards out there.
and this one is a pentium based bare bones system. http://us.shuttle.com/specs2.asp?pro_id=85 it also can be upgraded with a better video card.
anyways if you want something thats cool and a little different, look into it. I had never built my own computer either until about 4 months ago and I went with a SFF from shuttle I love it, Its also perfect for lan partys if your into that kinda thing because its soo small! and it wasnt nearly as hard to put together as I thought it would be to do! good luck!
oh btw you can get all of these at newegg.com they are great!
