The warranty on my Sahara PC will expire at the end of this month. This  
means I can start changing the things I don't like about my PC :)

Current System:

Case: Superchannel CX-7258ROGX
CPU: Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 @2.66GHz 45nm. idle @ 43deg C
Motherboard: Intel DG41RQ(LGA775)
RAM: 4Gb Dual-Channel DDR2 @400MHz
Graphics: Sparkle 512Mb nVidia GeForce 8400GS. idle @ 57deg C
HDD: 500Gb Samsung HD5021J
Operating System: Windows XP 32bit

Pov-Ray Beta 35a rendered the Benchmark @ 1m 41s on Windows XP

The case doesn't seem to be designed for cooling, so I'm not sure if  
over-clocking would be a good option. I've never over-clocked a PC before,  
but I wouldn't mind trying for 3GHz
Any ideas what the cheapest change would be that would result in increased  
performance? Liquid cooling? New case?
