What type of powersupply are you using? This is usually the biggest problem, getting an awesome computer an trying to run it on a cheap PSU with weak rails and bad lines.
Im not sure why a sli mobo, the nforce4 is the only motherboard i know of that allows 2 hard drives i guess (its actually the only mobo I know anything about), any better suggestions? Im not very educated on mobo's. I need the modem for just incase I don't have access to HSI and the nic is for the HSI, the lan? I don't remember putting a lan in the specs.

Haven't really thought of PSU, what would you recommend? Maybe 420Watt or so? Would that be minimum?
