Spec SFF for Graphics work

i'd say something like a black or white colour for the case and prefer the cube to save a load of space 
as for cpu, i'd prefer if it was Intel 775 chipset, enough for graphics work, and powerful enough to play games as a possible bonus
as for storage, hmm.. i'd say around 500gb would be enough, as budget is really limited.
I've tried working out a nice budget machine with the OCuk shopping cart, but it just ends up being really expensive :s

yeah one thing im afraid of is the size of the graphics card being too long and not being able to fit 
but i still want her to have a decent graphics card so she can join me on games
EDIT: looks like i'd have to hunt down a mATX motherboard too for those 2 cases, but they're pretty sweet looking

oh... so that'll go above budget
I still think the quad is a little bit pricey imo, as the new photoshop edition relies more on the GPU, so i'd stick to dual core.
hmm.. she plays MMO's and a load of puzzle games at the moment. Nothing really high spec'd, but hoping with the new computer she'll be playing something with a bit more graphical detail

hmm im considering the build that jellybeard999 recommended but with a E8400, graphics card wise im still worried that it wont fit inside the shuttle
With Tosk's recommended build it goes over budget.. as i need to purchase the case, psu and motherboard.
