Wow... that's actually a very nice system, similar to what I've been
building lately. I use Antec/Chieftec cases almost exclusively now and
they are top notch (very roomy, easy to work on and flow air well for
good cooling)! The Biostar motherboard w/Nvidia chipset is also very
good, based on feedback from other AMD users I know and my own
experience with this chipset.

The only things I'd change about the system is to replace the PSU with
an Antec "TruePower" series supply (they are dead silent), use a
different CPU cooler with low RPM Panaflo fan and replace the case fans
with low RPM Panaflo fans. You'd then have a "silent" PC that would be
extremely quick and quiet.

One other thing I'd be concerned about is tigerdirect. In the past
they've had fairly spotty service and reliability. I'm not sure if they
have improved in that regard or not.
