First let me list the things I don't need:
Processor
Motherboard
PSU
UPS
Graphics Card
RAM
Internal HDD
Monitor
Speakers
Mouse
Cabinet
Router

Apart from that anything which will be within 5k (or a bit of slack around) and money well spent ?

An external harddisk if you want storage or an internal 40gb SSD for performance. Make it a primary partition in your system.

Here are a few suggestions from me where the money can be spent:

A 40 GB SSD for performance
A 500GB external portable HDD
A 5.1 speaker system (or a good quality 2.1)
A wireless keyboard mouse combo
A superb headphone (like the bose intra-ear)
An iPod shuffle or any other good quality PMP
A faster Internet connection (this way your money will be spent over a longer period of time)
Invest it in a mutual fund and upgrade gfx card next year (disclaimer: mutual fund investments are subject to market risks blah blah blah.....)
A laser printer (B/W)
A ink-jet printer (color)
Genuine windows 7
Genuine MS office 2010 home and student version

for 5k get a Razer Keyboard or Logitech G15 and a DVDRW drive..as you don't have mentioned these in your first post
 

VarDOS

15.0 GHz
Razer Goods, Alienware KB, WiFi Router, SSD, External HDD, Case modding stuff.

Which speakers?
I prefer earphones (MDR EX57LP). As for speakers, X-Mini Max 2.

External Hard Disk.
Already using Internal HDD for backup.

Storage is not a problem. I heard that SSD's are in their incipient stage now. Better wait for next gen roll out.


logitech gaming peripherals
razer peripherals
external hdd
Some thoughts on logitech and razer peripherals ?

A Printer ???.....
Not really as the shipping charges will be high and I can get one locally.

Not require options are grayed out. Already have a 2mpbs unlimited conn. Win 7 or MS Office not required as I am in Linux 95% of my time.

Thoughts on Bose intra ear headphone ?

Which one to select from Razer keyboards ?

I have stopped writing DVD's long back. Even for OS installs I am using USB boot option.

Case modding stuff sounds novel idea. Suggest something to go with NZXT Phanom .

Go with modding stuff like NZXT sleeve cables for 24ATX ,8 pin CPI,6 pin VGA as well as i/o panel cables which looks ultimate NZXT phantom..

this is what i am talking about.. you can see in my rig,, Black and Red color but you can order White for excellent matching with your case. They blend very well in their cabinets..

If you want true sleeved cables to your own modding. then def'ly consider this
*en.mdpc-x.com/
...they are the BEST in the world and provide TOP notch quality products... And they are 100% better quality than NZXT cables..... I ordered them, soon i am expecting to India.... Atleast one full saturday i might sit and strip off my SMPS and sleeve them ......

Not USB 1.1 :/
How is Lycosa ?
Keyboard is not USB 1.1 but the ports on keyboard (behind the KB as a usb hub) are 1.1. Lycosa doesn't come with USB ports on the KB.

All thre are very cool. I would suggest that you check them out a hardware store.

How about this one, Coolermaster V6GT air cooler:
*techreport.com/r.x/2010_6_24_Launch_roundup_Cooler_Master_Crucial_Shuttle_Western_Digital/cooler-master-v6gt-il.jpg

Another query is that will it be compatible with newer socket (Sandybridge and progeny) ?

I wont be gaming anytime soon, atleast not before March 2011.

Keyboard is not USB 1.1 but the ports on keyboard (behind the KB as a usb hub) are 1.1. Lycosa doesn't come with USB ports on the KB.

I actually liked those sleeved LED, white color and inquired about the price from PrimeABGB. It's 1k. Is that normal ?
