A bit unfair to say "no hard drives", I think, but I see your point.
Sorry, I just meant that didn't include the cost of any "real" hard drive capacity, since you're bringing over drive you already have.
Reason I wanted to go with a larger PSU is that I plan to add a second graphics card (in addition to the RAID disks + an eSATA bay).
850W PSU is enough for two nVidia 560ti cards with the setup you're discussing and a bit of headroom. 1200 is overkill. You shouldn't need water cooling for this setup unless you're planning to overclock it.
So John S... Listen to Doug. He's the sensible one here... :-)
Don't get me wrong! I'd build a dual quad-core (or six-core) setup with 64GB of RAM and a pair of nVidia 580 video boards in a heartbeat, if I had that much money lying around doing nothing. :-)
