Guys,

I am thinking of building a QUIET pc for under a 1000 bucks. It will be used for gaming and office work and ripping movies. Let me know what specs you would put in...

Well, all I'd do different for a quiet pc is get a Seagate Barracuda V Hard Drive, an Antec Sonata case, and use some quiet fan like a Panaflo.
 
The new Dells are actually really quiet. =P I have a Zalman CNPS3000 in "silent" mode on my proc, several panaflos running at 5V in my case, and a Seagate Barracuda IV. Cool as a cucumber and very quiet.

So as far a specs go, pretty much whatever you want will be fine. The main noisy parts in the comp are the processor fan, graphics card fan, hard drive, and case fans. Zalman makes a good VGA cooler that works on high end graphics cards, so you can get a cutting edge machine that's nearly silent.
 
Hey, Kasparov, I'd like to play you in chess. I'm rated about 1600 USCF. I don't have FICS, but I have ICC.
