im in the market for a new case and psu and was just wondering what you guys would recommend
i need a case with good airflow since my current case is to hot, unless you know a good watercooling set for gpu/cpu?. would like it to be clean mabye with a window. and not to expensive
 
I just hooked up on a couple Antec SLK-3000B cases(no psu). Intel TAC compliant- so that's good for your P4, no window though. Comes with a 120mm rear exhaust and has a snap in mount for a 120x25mm fan in the front as well.

Got mine at Provantage though(2 cases for less than $100 shipped :))... Newegg just has good pics.

Provantage has several different bundles with psu... I just didn't need the psu. Wish I could give you some performance reaction on the cases but I haven't put them in service yet... workin' on it! ;)

I would stick with a 400+ watt Fortron/Sparkle/OCZ/Antec/Enermax psu... just to name a few brands. If you're going to seriously OC that P4, you will need a 500+ watt single 12v rail psu with all the 12v amps massed on one rail. For a moderate OC, a dual 12v rail psu will do fine and be more in tune with modern design.

Lastly, I would steer clear of the modular psu's available on the market. These modular type psu's will likely be the design of the future but are not status quo just yet.
