Building a rig
It will be used for gaming,video encoding and just browsin the web.It will also be used as a kind of a server to other little ion htpc's aroud the house.I want to be able to rip dvd's and compress them reasonably fast on it.I would like about 4tb,so maybe 4x Samsung F3 1tb's?I really dont mind as long as its around that.I like the look of the coolermaster storm scout.I have about £1500 to spend but thats needs to include a monitor(22-24 inch),keyboard/mouse,mousepad(NOT WIRELESS !)Operating system(must have media center so home premium or ultimate).Will also be overclocking a bit.

Tht spec above is pretty good, especially for gaming (phemon II x4 965 is a bargain CPU for gaming)
But if you do a lot of video encoding i suggest a I5 rig as they handle calculations quicker.
