My setup is very similar to what has been listed....
P4 3.4
IC7-Max3
1GB PC-3200 Corsair MATCHED Pair
9800 Pro Graphics
3 x 120 GB Samsung SATA HDD (RAID 0 on 2)
Thermaltake 7000A Case
Sparkle 500 Watt PS
Misc Drives and Opticals.
My only wish was that I spent the extra $50 and got ECC RAM or Registered RAM. Not a huge performance boost, but many of the RAM manufacturers recommend ECC or Registered for 512 DIMMS and higher.

Oh yeah.. If you use the Thermaltake Case don't worry about the noise. That is the case I have and ALL I hear are the fans if I have all of them (6 I think) at 3000 rpm. Granted the rig is in my TV Room and not my bedroom, but the Raptor Drives performance MORE than outweighs the noise factor for me.
