Spec check and questions

[Xellpher]

I'm looking to buy this lot but I've a couple of questions that I'm hoping that you guys can answer.

Does the GA 965P DS3P support USB FDDs and serial ATA DVD or will I have to connect a couple of old ones to install windows?

Will I be able to install another 8800 GTS in a few months time?

Will the fan controller fit behind the Mirage door?

I'm planning to RAID the drives. Am I better off with these or would I be better with the larger but same price Western Digital Caviar SE16's?
Space is not an issue as I plan to put my old HDD's in but I want reliability from my primary drive.

Thanks

Should support USB FDDs and SATA DVDs, should be OK for Windows install AFAIK

SLI isn't really worth it tbh plus the board doesn't support it.

For RAID you could get two AAKS drives in RAID, available in 320/500GB flavours

Welcome to the forums. In order.

Yes
No, or at least not in SLi because it is a Crossfire capable motherboard.
Not a clue but I'd suspect so since they are by the same people.
I'd just buy one Western Digital AAKS drive, comes in 320gb or 500gb flavours from here.
