Default I call it Big Brother

This is my new computer build. I'm just wanna get some comments/thoughts/ideas--you know some feedback.

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 2.66GHz
ASUS Striker Extreme Socket T (LGA 775) NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX
ASUS EN8800GTX/HTDP/768M GeForce 8800GTX (x2)
PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 1KW-SR EPS12V 1000W
CORSAIR Dominator 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1142 (PC2 9136) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-9136C5D (x2)
HITACHI Deskstar T7K500 HDT725050VLA360 (0A33437) 500GB

I'm also going with water cooling for this setup, and I did want a suggestion for a case especially with this swiftech radiator. I'll probably get more HDD space once Hitachi releases their TB drives.

ok well have fun

i would get 2-3 10,000RPM HDDs and put those in RAID0, then get 1-2 500GB hdd and RAID1 so you would have RAID0+1

if you need water cooling advice ask me. i love doing that kinda stuff

As far as water cooling components I went mainly with Swiftech but I'm open to the possibilities.

Swiftech MCW60-B VGA Cooling Water-block without Ramsinks
Swiftech APOGEE CPU Cooling Water-Block
Swiftech MCP655 12 VDC Pump
Swiftech MCR-220 Liquid Cooler Radiator
KOOLANCE HD-55 HDD Cooling Block

I am very unsure of compatible case.
