The Antec Super Lanboy Aluminum:

The Antec Silver Aluminum Performance 1 Series:

My wife's really wanting the Performance 1 Series, so that's what she's probably going to get. In the very near future, I'm going to build a box with this:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...129-142&depa=1
It's a really nice looking desktop case, as I need a smaller PC that still uses an ATX board. But again, that's just my opinion-- feel free to pick whatever case you want.
edit: went ahead and merged your two threads together, since they were so much related

Quick word of advice: Don't double/triple-post... you can just edit your single post and then add additional questions if needed.
But on the first question, no, not all motherboards have integrated sound cards. But, those that do can have them disabled and upgraded if needed.
Second question: It depends on your budget. I'm going for an ATI Radeon 9800 here soon. It's a 128MB card, and it can be found for around $200 at various retail channels.
...And yes. You can use your old CDROM and floppy drive on a new computer.
