All that, and for *only* $2633 plus shipping.  Will be a nice system when you have it all up and running.

That fanless 7950GT is the other card I was considering. Numerous reviews on Newegg complained of it getting extremely hot though. ???

I never said it was going to be cheap.

Ah. OK, well, trust the reviews over someone who just skimmed an article. Have you looked at http://www.silentpcreview.com?

I bet a 7950 with no fan runs hot. Prolly not the best bet for gaming. Granted a 7950 is way overkill for a HTPC but you want to play games... I think the list looks pretty decent. Sorry to see a blu-ray player there thou.

yeah...silentpcreview is where I got the suggestions for the WD 500 gig drive. It was there or some other "silent pc" website that was reviewing the Zalman VGA hsf as well. They got some pretty amazing cooling with the Zalman fan vs. the stock fan on their video card, and it was half as loud. ?? Sounded good to me.
