Case? CPU cooler?

Looks like you have a lot of money to blow. What size screen do you have? Seems like that setup will be overkil for the next 6 months or more based on the tripple GPUs. I have a 4870 and can run anything I want on high. just my 2cents...

A SCSI drive needs an added controller. A server drive will not be as good in a desktop as a Velociraptor; even a 15k drive.
Check out hard drive performance here:

Good cases are Antec 300, 900, 1200.
