i suggest you people Twinmos UTT. They will blow your socks off with their overclockability and timings @ 3.3 Volts. Trust me i have a pair 
Dont Laugh but....
I've now been everywhere trying to find out what the 2 very small PCI 2 and 3 in between (1 an 4 Sli express), "as manual", are for, totally baffled as a normal PCI card would be way to big for them, I have'nt done any building for over 5 years and feel like i've missed out on some new technology,
Thanks

Paul, i reccommend looking at a 6800GT or ultra or 2x6600gt at least really if you want to SLI at all, (i have an XFX 6800GT)
Leadtek aren't a good choice, as they dont fit in SLI in this board (custom cooler they use)
the XFX card that i have is pretty fine, only minor niggle is that the fan is quite loud (louder than all the other parts in my system i think)
and if you really need Vivo, i'm sure you can step to getting a USB 56k modem, or something like that and a PCI card
oh, and it's not really worth putting an audigy in unless you have an audigy4 or similar i'd say, as the karajan module seems to be ok.
WD raptors don't gain much from Raid, i'd much more reccommend 1xwd raptor for boot drive, and a big separate storage drive, but up to you
take a look here
other than that my system is basically the same as yours, and i'm liking it quite a lot!
oh, and running bios 217 appears to be fine for me so i might not bother updating till theres something worth updating it for (218 doesnt appear to change much unless you're having that nvmm problem?).

Thank's for your imput, see your point clearly regarding raid, I should have researched it more, it's just that about 12 months (or so) when I came close to starting a new build everyone was saying how much better, faster, there system was with the 2rap, raid, maybe the improved controller's these day's have lessened the gap, or something. Errr feel a tad silly now, like i've way overspent, could have had single raptor with Western Digital Caviar Special Edition 250GB, and change! only good thing is the raptor's five year warantee. feel sick.......
