Upgradable Game PC for less than 1k?

[Caly]

I'm looking for everything, including an LCD monitor.
For games like Final Fantasy online, Civ 4, Sims 2 etc.
Forget the graphics programs, it'll mostly be for games.

Is this a decent case?-

Any thoughts on this Motherboard?-

I was thinking of having a small IDE drive for the system software and a 2nd large
SATA one for applications. Good idea or should they both be SATA or?

Any thoughts on this DVD drive?

Besides Monarch, what other places will actually put it together and test it for you?
