I've got a Q6600, Asus P5QL-EM, 4 gig of ram, a ATI4670 along with 2 1TB harddrives in a SG03 powered by a 400W psu. I think you'd get all of that in a LANBox quite easily 
I take mine to LANs often, infact I'm off to Epic.Lan next weekend. It's nice and easy to transport and copes with everything I throw at it on decent-full settings at 1920x1200 (although I confess I've not tried Crysis on this card yet

)cheers for the advice im thinking along the lines of this DFI Lan Party JR P45-T2RS Intel P45 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard with Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 LGA775 'Wolfdale' 2.80GHz (1066FSB) - Retail and 4gb of ocz or corsair ram then an ati card which ive got £130 for might go over but dont think i will need to and im not sure what will fit will need to check dimensions since ive been told a lot of cards wont fit
- well it depends how much P0rn you're nicking at the LAN I guess....
