Newegg.com - LIAN LI PC-A70F Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case

holds 10 interal drives, I want the expandability

Newegg.com - HITACHI Deskstar 7K3000 HDS723020BLA642 (0f12115) 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

the motherboard below has 2xsata6, I can connect the two drives to them.

Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GV-N62256DP2-RH GeForce 6200 256MB 64-bit GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X Video Card
this saves some money, not a gamer.

Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply
CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W will 750W be enough for my potentially more than 6 internal hard drives and such?

Newegg.com - CORSAIR Vengeance 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ12GX3M3A1600C9
3x4G RAM

Newegg.com - Intel Core i7-950 Bloomfield 3.06GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor BX80601950
i7-950, initially want i7-2600k but have to wait... when will i7-2600k be fixed??

I'd really like to hear ur comments!

the purpose of this pc is general use and for numerical simulation.
I bought a 25inch monitor on hp website and the operating system will be debian linux 6.0.

Thanks!

4-6 weeks until those SB boards are back on the shelves.

You can't use that old AGP card in that system. PSU is overkill too.
Heres a nice deal for you.
XFX 650W 80+ & XFX GT240 512MB $85

You might consider AMD, some boards come with 6+SATA-III connections and built in graphics.
MSI 880GMA-E45 AM3 AMD 880G HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard $80 AR

I'm not quite sure what numerical applications you are using but I would check w/ the software vendor to determine whether it performs best with double or triple channel memory configuration. For numerical simulation, I'd want RAM w/ lower latencies.

For a SB build, that would be:
Mushkin CAS 7 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226178

For a 1366 based build, can go CAS 6

For the same $90 you could step up from a 2nd tier PSU to the XFX Black Edition .... same wattage, better unit....the black is a performance / quality equivalent to Corsair's 1st tier HX series.

Consider the Sabertooth (1155 & 1366) boards...they "militarized" components and 5 year warranty may be attractive to you considering the anticipated heavy workloads
