You'll probably need an IDE optical drive in order to install if you're running Vista. I've fought this issue on several systems in the lab. Afterward, feel free to swap back to SATA.

I've never had a problem installing Vista on SATA hard drives from a SATA dvd drive.

I'm not a fan of nvidia chipsets but I think you have a nice build there. The video cards are kind of weak though. I'd think you'd be better off with one nice video card than 2 9600s in SLI.
