Here's the components:

CPU: Socket 939 Athlon64 3500+
Hard Drive: 74 GB Raptor
RAM: 1 Gig OCZ 3700 EB
Mobo: MSI k8N Neo2 Platinum
Video Card: ATI X800XT (Preorder, will use 9700np in mean time)
Sound Card: Audigy 2 ZS
PSU: PC Power and Cooling 510 ATX Deluxe
Case: Lian-Li PC-6089A

The whole system is going to be watercooled from an external box with 2 fedco 2-342's and an Iwaki MD-30RZ. I need your opinions on this system and to make sure everything looks good. I'll be waiting a month for Cathar's G4 block to come out as well as for the ATI X800XT to ship out at the end of September so are there any new components coming out between then and now that I should wait for? Or is it okay to order this stuff now and then add the other components later.

Sounds sweet. I'm not a big fan of the raptors...they seem awfully pricey for such limited capacity, but they're fast.

Sounds like a very good system so far, I built one similar to this a few weeks back but used a NVidia 5950 Ultra and it is in the top 3% for 3D Mark so far.

Alright I'm probably going to be ordering it today unless someone has any critiques.

Ordered it. Everything is on it's way. The video card should take about a month.

Kickass, and for the record, the Raptors make a difference, your boot time and load time in games will be phenomenal :D
