Looks GREAT! I recommend going with the Extreme series case. The Cosmos is a great case and all, but, the padded panels and the way the vents are keep things really warm inside. The extreme has a lot of vents for air flow and we can mount our water cooling system effectively inside it.

alex is right on the mark about the extreme case... you need room and cooling for all that.

lot of folks dont think about it but the raptors put out some heat... the extreme case keeps em seperate

only thing I would change is:

get extreme case
drop the physics card...its a TOTAL waste
(and my own opinion) just go buy crysis if you really want it. I bought it, tried it,  and its been shelved since... pretty to look at and good to show off what your puter can do... just not fun.
