They have 505watts RMS and 1010 watts peak power, are digital (no hissing when silent like the creative speakers have), and have multiple DIGITAL inputs (coaxial AND optical) i.e. you can plug a 360, XBOX, PS2 into as well as your computer.

The case price is a bit ridiculous. You could buy a $40 case and just buy a nice CPU cooler from Arctic-Cooling and be set. They are quiet and cool better than the stock heatsinks.

Other than that, it is a pretty nice system. You did thought basically select the most expensive option for every component so I would spend a couple days researching to find out what is really a better component for the price instead of relying on a $400 x part is better than a $350 y part.
