I'm planning on building a new DAW sometime soon'ish. Here are the specs I've settled on so far after a small amount of research:

Motherboard - MSI K8N Neo2, ASUS A8V Deluxe or DFI Lanparty nF3 UT Ultra-D (This is the bit I can't make my mind up on as yet although the ASUS A8V is the one I'm most wary of)
Processor - AMD 64 X2 4800+ maybe a 4200+ realistically depending on finances
RAM - 2 Gig
System Drive - Seagate 80 Gig IDE (which I already have)
Audio Drive - Western Digital Raptor 74 Gig 10,000 SATA 150
Graphics Card - Matrox QID AGP x8
DVD Drive - Optorite DD1205 (which I already have)
CPU Cooler - Zalman CNPS6000 S462
HDD Enclosers - Silentmaxx Aluminium HD-Silencer (x2)
PSU - Zalman 400w ZM400B-APS
Case - My existing Carillon 19" rack case

Anybody got an suggestions on this spec, any other haardware needed such as extra fans etc?
