All my sperm are dead (Gaming Rig Advice)

After gaming a few hours on my macbook pro and realizing the melting mass in between my legs used to be my testicles I've decided to build a proper gaming PC this summer. I've done some research into the matter and would just like some opinions and insights on what to do/get/look into.
First and foremost is that I want my case to be elegant. I don't want LED's, LCD temp displays or any of that shit, just something preferably sleek and audi-like. Any recommendations ?
Secondly I live in a place where temps can get to 50+ Cel. in the summer. I also have insane issues with dust and particles floating around everywhere, so obviously heating is going to be an issue. I also cannot sleep with fans running and would like to use my computer to download porn overnight. Someone recommended that I get a liquid cooling system put in while another person told me to get into the whole oil immersion thing. My price range is roughly 1500-2000 CAD to build a system that will last me atleast 2 or 3 years. Where should I be looking for custom build up information ?

I have the P 192 and it is great. It is gigantic and heavy, but I like it, makes it feel really solid. It has been pretty good about cooling. And I am willing to chalk up any problems I've had with my stupidity and it being the first computer I've built myself.
edit: Also there is a very good thread in Moe's technology tavern that should help out quite a bit with what you are looking for.
This case is sleek and elegant. I saw it and it was the case of my dreams. It will most cooling setups and has a removable motherboard tray. It keeps the dust out and with a water cooling system would be near silent. Plenty of space in that case to put in water cooling- easily. I will warn you, it IS heavy. You should be able to put something excellent together for that price right now though.
Do you want Quad core processing or Dual core?
Do you mind DDR2 (cheaper) or want DDR3?
