Did you make bad decisions? No, in no way. We're just offering maybe a little better bang-for-buck in some areas. The economy sucks, so efficient use of funds is paramount.

As was stated earlier, the Raptor is the fastest consumer SATA drive on the planet. But it's very costly, considering it's capacity. SATA 3Gb/s has nearly caught up to the Raptor's transfer rate with the large drive (platter density makes it possible). Unless you plan on putting two Raptors in RAID-0, you can save a lot of money without really sacrificing performance.

I suggested the PCP&C Silencer 750 for two reasons - ruggedness (only lightning will kill off a PCP&C unit), and Rail Strength (they have one of the highest rated 12v rails in the industry).

Looking at your base, you COULD reuse your motherboard. Hmmm...
