Solid looking system. You may wanna do some research on monitors first before you just get one. Im not a huge fan of Acer brands. Also keep in mind that SLI really starts to come into its own at high resoultions. I think the native for a 22inch is around 1600x1200 or somewhere around that. Thats about the borderline when SLI starts to really take effect.
 
Another question, is how often do you believe youre gonna be using both CD drives? Sometimes you can save a bit of cash by only getting one CD drive. Though i suppose having a reader/writer would save some wear and tear on the writer. (im going with just a reader CD drive on my DS, mostly because my printer has a DVD burner on it, weird huh? its a new trend)
 
All and all though that is a hell of a nice system, Wish i could afford one like that =P.
