get a mobo with SATA, put Raptor (36 gigs enough) for system files and put 200-300 gigs CHEAP 2Mb drive for your movies or shit like that

cd. dvd. etc - up to you, as well as LCD (good pick tho)

get INWIN case - they are better IMHO. upto 400Wt.

get 2.8 intel p4 with HT it will cost 30% less and only 10% slower

you forgot a video card also, but that's up to you.

my main point: don't go with two huge semi-fast drives. get one super-fast and the 2nd super-big for less or same money you'll get higher perfomance and almost the same space (there are 250-300 gig drives already)
Thanks for your serious reply. As far as the HDD, I want to run them in raid1. So I am safe with disk failures(had that to many times already) besides that, I will add some cheaper drives for storage...

I forgot the videocard. I was thinking about
ATI RADEON 9600 PRO 128MB TV-OUT / DVI 128Euro
