Hi everybody.
I need to buy 10 gaming computers for somebody. (lan parties and etc.)
Every dollar that I can save is important.
Here is the setup that I am planning:

mobo:Asus A8N5X

ram: GeIL Value 1GB (2 x 512MB)

cpu: AMD Athlon 64 3000+

video: eVGA Geforce 7800GT CO SE 256MB

hdd: (he does not need more than 10GB, he has NAS) Western Digital Caviar SE WD800JD 80GB 7200 RPM SATA150

odd: (does not need writting capabilities) Liteon DVD-ROM 16X BLACK SOH-D16P9V

psu: Thermaltake W0062RU 420W

case: (needs to look flashy) Nikao DragonFire chrome-black

lcd: ViewSonic VA912B-4 8ms 1280x1024 DVI 19"

mouse: (no money to waste on gamer's mice) Logitech FirstMouse Scroll usb/ps2 Noire

generic keyboard

additional Thermaltake 120mm Blue LED Fan

power protection: APC BASIC 7 OUTLETS 10FT SURGE PROTECTOR

crappy headset, does not need mic: Altec Lansing APH-212I

How would you improve this without increasing the cost, except only a little maybe?

^^^^the setup here, I can find it at 1400$ CAN.

psu is ewww
case is expensive for the price
seagate or samsung would be a nice choice for hd's
spend more money on keyboard and mouses than spending it on ugly cases just get antec sontana.
