Hmm... interesting...

Personally I've never considered going micro-ATX, but that case looks nice, and the motherboard looks very good too. I think that would be an excellent system for your needs. (an Antec with an e-sata socket! at last!)

Things to think about:
Do you really need xfi?
You'll have to use Vista to take advantage of that 4GB

yea the main reason im going with x ram is so that it relieves a bit of load from the cpu and also the internal audio is not good -so x ram seems to my answer, as for the 4 gigs im not goig with vista `but will go with a xp 64 bit so that it reads it, thanks

Oh yeah, I never think of XP 64 :)

As I say, that's a nice looking case and mobo; xfx graphics cards get a good rap too.
