Everything seems good to go....personally i would organize my HDD's a little differently so i could store stuff off the RAID-0 that you want to keep but that doesn't need speed....lie MP3's and such. And maybe booting from your single drive so if your RAID-0 fails down the road you still have a computer to use.

Those are just personal choices...other then that you are good to go

Everyone has their own opinions on RAID0/1, I don't really know which way to go, I might be getting 2 more 200GB drives from a freied, so I might use the 400's in RAID0 as my boot, and the 200's in RAID1 as my storage and backup.

Hell, I really don't know, but thanks for the feedback. Hopefully this thing will OC like hell and I wont get stuck with a bad Opteron which is highly dobtful since they are the cream of the crop (of X2's).
