need some help building a computer

i would have taken suggestions from the other thread but it seems like everyone on there is trying to build a gaming computer. I have a ps3 and xbox360 for the games and even those just collect dust. so I want to try out windows 7 and my computers pretty damn slow now (intel core2 1.8ghz with 2 gigs of ram running vista)

what I want from a computer is this:

1) run 2 24" monitors at a high resolution to view my charts

2) it'll be running 24/7 so I want it to be quiet. I probably need some good fans because I stuff the computer into a cupboard type of thing so it can't be seen.

3) i want it to be extremely quick. for example my trading platform crashes I click on it to reopen and its up and running as quick as I can click vs. waiting 1 minute while the computer makes stupid noises

4) I need hdmi out so I can connect it to the tv in my room and stream videos from it

and finally which version of windows 7 should I buy?

Last time I built my own computer was like 2 years ago and I picked up everything from ncix.

thanks in advance!
