There isn't really anything out there in Region 1-land that's full CG yet, but give it time... (someone correct me if I'm wrong)
As for fantasy anime... have you seen Record of Lodoss War or Escaflowne? The Slayers, Slayers Next (season 2), and Slayers Try (season 3) are also good fantasy series, although the Slayers saga is less serious as a whole.
If you don't mind the whole magical girl thing, Magic Knight Rayearth also has an excellent story in a fantasy setting.
For the Ghost in the Shell fan: you may like Bubblegum Crisis for some more of that cyberpunk goodness. BGC is a bit old, but still excellent. If you're a Masamune Shirow fan, I also recommend the Dominion Tank Police OVA series released by CPM/U.S. Manga. And if you're not already collecting Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex... do it.
Evangelion can be found fairly affordably in its Platinum Collection form... not $8 cheap, but still reasonable as far as anime boxsets go ($40-ish @ walmart or something like that).
Here are the anime I own, and think are pretty cool:
Sailor Moon (uncut, seasons 1-4 and the movies, all OOP. would not recommend to any CAGs at the current price range, however)
Tenchi Muyo OVA
Magic Knight Rayearth
The Slayers (all three seasons, from CPM + the movie box, from ADV)
The Legend of Black Heaven (pending in, watched it during its run on the International Channel/AZN, very funny)
Bubblegum Crisis (pending in, see above)
DNA2 (short, cheap, funny. not a fantasy story, but a twisted love comedy. the dub sort of stinks though)
Nightwalker (anime vampire cop show, 12 episodes. also cheap)
Project A-ko ($10 for the movie!
)

I hope this helps.
