you're lucky you have the support of the us armed forces on your side for that  LT.  ;)

Mysty, you're doing the exact same thing I did, but two weeks later...

Just realize though that no matter how final you think your build will be once you order, there's always room for that one final change... one of the many beauties of using DS is that they are far more flexible than anyone else when it comes to changes once you've ordered.  Just look at all the folks who have upgraded, and surprisingly even downgraded based on some last minute info they came across.  So yes, do all the research you can, so you know what questions to ask, but cut yourself some slack when it comes to ordering.  This is not the large company that rhymes with Hell, where, when you and your order part company, it goes into the vast machine, you sit at home waiting and then you see a computer system weeks later.  This is DS baby, you get updates online, you can call and confirm, and you've got a slew of already and gonna be customers to hold your hand through the process. 

You're right though, perhaps the sequence should be changed to:
Stage 1 - become amazed by the DS philosophy and customer service experience.
Stage 2 - use the best resources around to determine your configuration - DS staff and DS customers
Stage 3 - complete enough research so you feel comfortable enough to share your credit card number with Robert
Stage 4 - mandatory buyer's remorse that you spent all your money and will now have to eat Raman noodles
Stage 5 - Kelly collects all the components you said you were going to use and puts them in a pile - then plays Lego Star Wars on his killer machine until you call
Stage 6 - You change your mind (you're a woman after all) and tell Dave you've decided to get the purple liquid in your cooling system instead of the orange, and you want the outside of your twister extreme embroidered with unicorns.
Stage 7 - You're happy with the config, Kelly can't get past the Lego Boba Fett, and decides to whip together your machine in about four hours.
Stage 8 - the 72 hour burn - everything is great except the horns fell off the unicorns, so DS decides to give you a rebate and call it the "my pretty pony" extreme
Stage 9 - the UPS gorillas show up, and carefully dislodge your RAM and unseat one of your 8800 Ultras - because, well, they're men... Alex calls you to tell you that if you think THESE gorillas are bad, you should see the FEDEX gorillas.  They're just as mean, but they cost more...
Stage 10 - Mysty gets the computer, reseats the cards & RAM, fires it up and a tear runs down her cheek as she realizes that her popular daughter and randy son will have their own substandard system while she's enjoying her DS masterpiece that as far as her husband knows was six grand spent on dry cleaning.

From what I've seen it's a pretty fun family Mysty! C'mon in.
