Already have money aside for a Quad after april 22. Don't know if I am going liquid on this particular PC yet.

I agree with Jeff. I don't see anything in your setup that can be upgraded for $220 (and not much that really needs upgrading period).

See if you can grab another kit of the stuff you've already got.

Your systems sounds pretty interesting, would you be able to post pics of it up here? I'd like to see it! lol

Since you are so concerned with the aesthetics, spend it on getting parts professionally painted.

Noctua/Yate Loon fans to replace coolermasters.

An HDTV card?

Sound system?

Color laser printer?

Camera?

Software?

I like the coolermaster fans cause they are UV orange. Hard to find color. I would like Noctua fans though.

I was thinking a Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite. It is like $30 more but oh well.
