CD ripping, lots of storage, bit of gaming, HTPC, good performance but as quiet and cool as possible (without paying silly amounts), etc, etc...

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo e6600 (bought)
CPU Cooling: Scythe Ninja Plus (no fan w/AS5) (bought)
Motherboard: P5W DH DELUX WiFi (BOUGHT)
PSU: Seasonic S12 600W (Have Already)

Graphics: HIS ATI Radeon X1900 ICEQ3 (BOUGHT)
Sound: Very keen on my music/good sound.
-IS the onboard sound good enough?
-Shall/Can I use my old Hercules Game Theatre XP 7.1 instead?
Speakers: Cambridge/Creative Soundworks 7.1 system (my current ones)
RAID Controller: Areca ARC-1220 (Bought)
Hard Drives: 2 x 150GB Raptors RAID1 for System, pagefile, programs.
4 x 500GB RE2 Western Digitals (RAID 6 array on controller) storage.
-Will I introduce a bottleneck if I use one of my old WD Caviar 320GB ATA 133 drives to host the pagefile?

UPS: APC 1500Va Smart UPS (bought)
Other: Windows XP Pro until vista comes along. Will probably dabble with Knoppix/Umbuntu and dual OS setup at somepoint though….
Is there anything I should change? The Bought bits are still unopened, so I could probably exchange them if I've made a mistake....
