    Yep - the Intel Matrix raid is pretty good and dead simple to set up. Using raid0 on my system made a huge difference in boot times, general performance etc.

    D-tek fuzion, or apogee gtx are the waterblocks of choice at the moment, and they also are excellent for quad core, should you decide to upgrade in the future. Most places will let you choose which barbs you want.

    P5K uses Intel's new P35 chipset, which will support Intel's next gen CPUs.
