Looks good.

But you could get two HDDs (one for storage, one for OS & programs). This would give you some protection against HDD failures and viruses/trojans.

solid build, except when i asked a DS rep about the 512 GTS's he mentioned they cant be overclocked yet stability wise..so you probably wanna get in contact with somebody and see if that is still the case.
 
in my 16 years of computer gaming, ive yet to have a hard drive fail on me. Guess ive just been lucky. Ive had a power supply catch fire tho =P.
 
Keep in mind also the enhanced air flow cables is for CD and floppy drives. Meaning with only one CD drive, youre only gonna have one cable. Oop missed the media card reader....i guess thats worth 22 bucks then.
