Drop the H100 - don't use a plastic block. The Plextor BD-R burner is outrageously expensive for what you get (yeah I have one, I know), and the 1KW PSU is major overkill.

You could pay 1/2 that and get a system that performs just as well. Check this out:

Use the difference for a couple nice monitors or anything else you might need.
