Final spec advice and cooling

For general use + video, audio and 3D rendering.

Motherboard
DP965LT
CPU:
Core 2 Quad Q6600
Ram:
Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4 2GB (2x XMS2 1GB) PC-6400 (800MHz) DDR2 RAM, 2x240-pin DIMMs, Non ECC Unbuffered, 4-4-4-12
Hard Drives * 2 with Raid 1 mirroring:
Either Seagate 7200.10 400GB 7200rpm SATA II Hard Drive - 8.5ms, 16MB Cache ST3400620AS
or Samsung 500GB 'HD501LJ' HDD - SATA II 7200rpm, 16MB Cache, NoiseGuard, SilentSeek, 3-year warranty
Video card:
NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500
Monitor
Samsung 20” 206BW

Any case suggestions (needs to be practical and look nice in a media business setting, ie something cool but not over the top)?

Also what cooling would this need?

Oh and what's a good power supply?

Can't really comment about the quad core, the mobo or the GPU because I am not really knowledgeable about these, but for the case and the PSU, I can.

First of all, like I said, I don't know how much power your GPU takes, but I assume that a 500W reliable PSU would be good, here are 2 choices:
Antec NeoHe 500 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817103940
Corsair 520HX http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139001

Then for a case, well there is this one:
Antec P180 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129154
or this one which I do not know Lian-Li 6070AplusII http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811112101

There are many other cases, but well, its really a matter of choice.
