I really appreciate the help I've gotten in here so far, and I'm still looking for ideas. Below is an update:

Lian-Li V-1000B (opted against PLUS because of loud extra fans)
LANPARTY UT RDX200 CF-DR (originally A8N-SLI Premium)
Opteron 170 (originally X2 4800... but I'm still up in the air)
Enermax Liberty 620watt
OCZ EL DDR PC-3200 Dual Channel Platinum(2gb) (Orignally CorsairTwinX2048 3500LLPRO)
ATI Radeon X1900 CrossFire Edition 512mb x2 crossfire (originally eVGA e-GeForce7800GTX KO 256mb (2 in SLI))
Soundblaster x-fi Xtrememusic

Zalman REserator 1 Plus (adding another VGA block for second GPU)
WD Rapter 150GB
WD Caviar RE16 400GB (2 of these)

Plextor PX-716AL DVD/CD Writer (2 of these... want to be able to do disc to disc writing and I really like the slot look... plus good drives)

Hauppauge 500 MCE (I'm also looking at the Adaptec PVR 3610 [USB])

Windows MCE 2005
Dell 2405fpw (2407fpw if it comes out soon, or I may just use my existing monitor and wait... HDCP SUCKS!)

APC 750VA UPS battery backup
Gyration Ultra Cordless Optical Mouse

Thanks for all the help and I look forward to more advice.

if you've got the time to wait, see what the XT offers in a couple of months :) , overall, not bad, but if you dont plan on overclocking, you can save yourself a few $$ by getting some valueram instead of the $$$$$$ stuff.

With an Opteron 170, I DEFINITELY plan to overclock. I just have to learn how to do it first! :D And were you referring to the X1900XT? If so, it's already out according to what I've been looking at.
