HTPC shopping list - does it look okay?

Got my HTPC up and running with the Antec Fusion a few moments ago. Running nice and cool with the stock cooler. No Core Temps as I'm still installing Vista but temps in BIOS seemed just peachy. Noise levels are very low and the airflow across the two TriCool 120mm fans seems good. The stock cooler isn't really audible.

Also, I'm using an MSI K9A2GM-FIH board rather than the Gigabyte.

Yeah 50% CPU usage and eating up system memory with 2Gb, good idea for silence i guess.
