Thanks, I have been hunting for just the right combination for about 3 months now. Honestly I was close to pulling the trigger on ordering from that other boutique (the one whose support is much like an unspeakable probe) and finally decided once I emailed some questions and Robert answered them instantly.
 
Top notch service and excellent ratings won me over. I'm looking forward to working with you guys.

My 'old' system has 2 400GB drives in it I am going to transfer over for data drives. Seemed like a waste not to use them. The Raptor will be just for the OS.

Great config, but you still missing Sound Card, you should get the Extreme Gamer sound card.

Also a good point, however I have an Audigy 4 I intend to use, as well as 5.1 speakers, saitek keyboard, 26" dell monitor...so I pretty much spec'd the system as a core system replacement. I have lots of bells and whistles already.
 
I really do appreciate the concern about onboard audio tho'...that would have sucked with such an uber rig.
