I'm thinking of at least a 600W psu
As for HDD's, I would like two 10 000 rpm SATA's in raid 1 (which I believe will mirror them) 'cos I've had HDD's fail on me before..........am I correct in thinking that a raid 1 setup will allow me to boot off either one if the other goes down? I am a complete novice at HDD setup
Anyone know if it is possible to get 10 000 rpm drives bigger than 74 mb?

I'm not interested in speakers as I am pretty much forced to use headphones but I have a pair of
Sennheiser PC150's (headset/mic)
I will either pull my existing audigy 2 zs soundcard out of my current machine or perhaps go for a
M-Audio card
