I am going to order a new system tonight. I AM an overclocker. I need to do this on sort of a budget also, as long as I stay within $1000 I am ok. The stats are:

Intel P4 2.4C GHz
Abit IC7
Radeon 9700 Pro with RAM sinks
Sound Blaster Audigy
SLK-900 with adjustable Enermax 9.2cm fan
DVD drive
48x CD Burner
Western Digital 1200JB Hard Drive
<A HREF="http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/cas-35.html" target="_new">This Acrylic Case</A>
5 32.5 cfm case fans
One case fan ducted to my Radeon 9700 Pro


eBay, kick ass!

I don't really care about the sound all that much because I am used to using integrated. This will be my first add-in card solution :)

the fastest i was able to get that cpu stable was at 2.88ghz. i think the fsb speed was to high. you might want to go with a faster model with a higher multiplier.
 
How long before you buy? Corsair Pc 3500 is do for price drop. Don't know when that will happen thou. I'm waiting till the end of this month to buy. P4 2.4c has gone from $220 to $185 in the past two weeks at New Egg.

Whare are you buying this from, because i am interested in buying a similar computer, or are you ordering the parts and building yourself?
