New rig setup... suggestions?

[PowerYoga]

Here's what I'm planning. Not looking for too much overclocking.

E6400 Conroe
Asus P5B-E
G.Skill DDR2 800, 2gigs
ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro
Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD3200KS 320GB

2 things I'm deciding right now... case and video card.

Waiting on video card release next week....

Any suggestions for cases, or the setup in general?

Tell me if this helps... I need all the feedback I can get! Do you want a case with bling, or more of a functionality/aesthetics balance? What's your budget?

Buy what you need now and wait for better deals later. Good building.

DDR2-667 memory instead of DDR2-800.

Any reason other than price?

I'm not looking for a case with a lot of bling. Its not something I'll be taking to LAN parties nor moved around a lot. So I'm looking for something that's generally easy to work with, good layout, and lots of room as well. I looked at the Sonata 2 from Antec yesterday and it looks decent for a pretty good price. Anybody have any experience with that?

acegazda, very nice guide... I'll look into some of your recommendations as well.
