Upgrade Suggestions

I have an Alienware tower with
1 GB PC3200 mem
2.8 Ghz P4
80 GB 7200 RPM SATA HD
128 MB PNY nVidia Quadro FX 1100 Video Card
Intel ATX Server MBO w/ Gigabit LAN and a SATA RAID Controller
45OW PSU
Plextor DVD+RW
17" NEC 1280x1024 monitor

works fine for my needs (Photoshop,apache, except it is too large and
noisey.

What kind of cases and cooling fans would you recommend to make the system
smaller, quieter, and more stylish? I'd like it to fit under a coffee table
(11" )
I am also considering just getting another system like an Athalon based
Shuttle XPC or even Mac Mini (since I need to upgrade Photoshop anyway)

I'm trying to intergrate this into my living room / home office (work laptop
has WiFi and bluetooth). In the process I want to eliminate redundant
displays, devices, wall warts, plugs and cables. For example I just bought a
Wacom bluetooth tablet and the ritePen handwriting recognition software. I
have been using this in place of my KB and mouse (both unplugged ). I'm
hoping to use a bluetooth headset and something like Vonage with my PC
and/or another device to handle all phone calls (cell, landline, VoIP). I
would use bluetooth or WiFi to eliminate printer cable. Replace monitor and
old TV with 16:9 1080p monitor. Will probably replace DVD player and TiVo by
adding a PCI tuner card. Not sure what to do about WiFi router and DSL
modem. At least they can be hidden
