Also, you could get a single 200GB Samsung SATAII for $105 shipped at ZZF.

 

[Cheezeit]

get the fortron blue storm 500 for 75 dollars at actbuy. Much better deal.

And are you sure you don't want an Nvidia nf4 chipset?

yes but i dont want a single 200GB drive

im gonna put 2 160gb IDE drives into it as well, and want 2 SATA droves so i wont need to run the PCI IDE card to get the 4HDDs working again

i woudl go with a 40gb SATA HDDand a 80gb SATA but they dont seem to make a 40GB 8mb buffer SATA drive so its 2 80s

6600GT Kills it. You want atleast a 6800GT.
Edit: You could also get yourself a 3200+ Venice and overclock to 3500+ speeds with ease. My rig is similar to yours in terms of motherboard and cpu. Also, I do not know much about the crucial memory. DFI motherboards are very picky and do not like value ram much. Make sure you find out if this stuff is compatible.

No the Fortron is not modular.

Its better bang/buck

You don't really need modualr, though, cause most of the time you end up using all or almost all of the cables anyways. The fortron is completely sleeved and has a quiet 120mm fan.
