I'm building a pc for my little brother to a £1000 limit, and since he likes glowing and flashing thingsI was thinking along these lines...
Akasa UV Reactive Transparent Case
Globalwin Super Silent 22dBA 320W ATX Power Supply
DFI Lan Party i875 Motherboard
TwinMOS 512MB (2x256MB) DDR PC3200 Dual Channel Kit
Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 128MB
Seagate Barracuda Serial ATA V 80GB
Akasa Serial ATA PSU Converter
Akasa Serial ATA 45cm Silver Data Cable
LiteOn LTC-48161H 48x48x24x16x CDRW/DVD Combo Drive
AOC LM720A 17" TFT Monitor
Intel Pentium 4 'Northwood' 2.4CGHz (800FSB) with HT Technology
Works out as slightly over I think, so cheaper suggestions would be appreciatedThanks...

PSU should be good enough but it makes sense to protect and feed that £1000 investment so I would suggest Antec or Enermax 350W+.
875 are nice but quite pricey. I would look towards an 865 based mobo esp if you can get one with sneaky PAT enabled (they weill call it something else).
Finally be sure to leave enough money for decent (not budget) keyboard, mouse, soundcard and speakers ... unless you plan to add them later LOL!
