Nice build... maybe a bit overkill with the 1066 ram if you are not OCing to the extreme. 800 would suffice

other than that good luck

You're right...switched to some DDR2 800 that Gigabyte says should work with the board.
thanks!

i would say, two WD 320 GB in raid 0, leave out the 74GB

This looks like a great build. My only slight concern is it looks like you may have tight fit between hard drives and your 8800 card with this case. It is a great looking case, but I did notice a comment in reviews that someone had tight squeeze between card and Hard Drives with it. I am sure you could make it work though. Either than that great looking build!!

thanks for the comments. I think I read the same review (someone had to remove a HDD cage for the vid card to fit). I'll let you know when it arrives
