Total is at $676, no bad for 2 HDD's, nice mobo and quad cpu. I'm not to thrilled about the case, but I don't really want to spend too much for something that's made in China just like the cheap cases. I am wondering about the open box mobo, should I opt out of that or is it legit?

Would like to trim it down to $600 if at all possible, I could easily drop down a level on the video card and drop a HDD. Other then that..... I don't know. Maybe find a few comdos?
Now thats looks like a decent system. Though I would get one 640 Caviar Black and call it a day.

Get a set of 640 blue/black instead of the raptors (in raid they are better bang/buck)
Go $300 build

Update;

I'm surprised only one person pointed this out above, but why would I need CrossfireX? I'm already overkilling it with the 5770.
