Thanks go out to a large and distinguished group of helpful people: The DBB Tech forum as a whole. And
especially thank you for the patience and suggestions Krom/Matrix! Sorry to be so wishy washy. But after all that I think this system should really be a beast.
Heres the final specs on my system.
Thermaltake Tsunami Dream Tower Black w/ window
PS 520W - OCZ ModStream ATX 2.01
DFI Lan Party NForce4 SLI-DR Audio/GB-LAN
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Dual-Core 1MB
Zalman CNPS7000B-AlCu Silent CPU Cooling
2 GB (2 pcs 1GB) OCZ dual channel platinum DDR
HD SATA3G Western Digital Caviar SE 250 GB 16mb cache
DVD±RW - NEC ND-3550A 16X Dual Layer DVD± black
Mitsumi Floppy 7-in-1 USB Card Reader/Smart media black
Creative Labs X-Fi XtremeMusic 7.1
eVGA GeForce 7800 GT CO 256MB DDR3/PCI-E
Ahead Nero 6.3 Suite DVD+-RW Software
nVidia nVDVD 2.0
I'll order a sound activated blue CCF and a blue UV light to give this rig some light.
I cant think of anything else to add (not that I have anything left to buy it with...)
Thanks again for the help!

Finally bought the new rig
Congrats!
Was sure you were going to just TALK about it a few more years

Yes, will DEFINITELY post pics.
(I never did mention my last snag with this system: I was ready to buy it in Sept., but I got an opportunity to spend a month travelling thru Asia: China, Viet Nam, Cambodia, Thailand. We travelled cheaply [train, bus, car, boat] and had a great trip...just got back 2 weeks ago)
I was really happy to get Monarch to build the system with ALL the parts I wanted. Maybe NEXT build I'll do it myself
