It's a great build. Just a few things.
Mushkin RAM, slightly better:

You want Vista 64 bit... Unless you have some professional software you have to have that you know won't run on it. It's better, works with all new games and most recent ones. Mainstream 64 bit has arrived.
You want the retention bracket that is sold separately for the S-1283.
You also need some thermal paste 
Finally, this is the only 4870 to buy right now. Really. Although they have not labelled it, it's clearly the new vapor chamber cooling like it's 512MB sibling. It's so worth the extra cash.

The issue apparently is that the Linksys drivers don't work. The Vista 64 drivers work fine however, just don't touch the installation CD
