Hi Michael:

Your system is similar to one I built a few months ago. Re: the graphics 
card, one thing to bear in mind is that the fans on those cards can be 
loud, even in an Antec case. I now have a fanless nVidia card in my 
machine, it works fine with either the kernel module or nVidia's binary 
driver, and it's *quiet*.

Best,
