Need Help With Choosing Hardware for an SSF System – Intel Based

Im am looking to build myself a new system, my previous tower was a huge full size server tower (from Antec) and my reason for it was to host all my HD’s in that tower. Now I run a file server and no longer need so much local storage so I am considering an SSF.

What I do is professional photography, and hobby video editing using Adobe Premier Pro, and some audio editing and gaming. All my platforms until now have all been Intel based, and for this system I want to stick to that.

So my wish list in an SSF is as follows: Intel Based, Dual Raptor HD’s + plus one local Large HD, As much RAM as possible, A High End Graphics Board, And to pack all this into a good shuttle box.

What would you recommend, like which shuttle model to take, which processor, ram, Video Card… etc.? My budget is at $1500 to $2000.
 
Shuttle has a bunch of new intel ones coming out. Ide go for the P965-based one and pair it with 4gb of ddr2 and a conroe or 900 series cpu
 
4GB is a little excessive isn't? You really only need 2.

I would suggest camping out for a couple of weeks to a month until Conroe SFF comes out. By then the CPU's price would have dropped also.

That's what I'm doing.
 
Thing is that I really need to make my move on it alredy. My current system is crapping out on me, its really sad!

Ive read a review of the Shuttle SN37P2 and that sounds promising, my only concer with it is that lack of the card reader. but i was wondering how long it would take for it to become availabe...
