    get two 640 GB drives and RAID0 them, unless those two drives you chose use 5000GB platters.

    also skeleton is gimmicky and doesn't protect really the hardware. Is your intent to have an open system?

    not sure about the PSU but I remember hearing that andyson was highend...

    Why the x-fi? Pretty poor choice for music production/audiophilia, and most anything else will be perfectly fine with on-board sound.

    If you're looking for a real audiophile sound card look at m-audio's stuff. They make recording studio equipment.

    If you're just looking to listen to music or play games. The on-board sound card should be good enough.
