OT: Recent System Builds - Recommendations?

Folks,

My 5-year old P4 is showing signs of hardware problems. I am considering taking the plunge and building my own system.

Has anyone built a system in the last 3 months or so that can recommend a motherboard/case/power supply?

I have been looking at motherboards (focusing on ASUS, for no particular reason) and my head is beginning to spin, specifically consider P45 vs x36 based boards. One obvious advantage of the P45-based boards is they support up to 16 MB of RAM, which may be handy in the future with the 64-bit Vegas.

Thanks!
