I already have a Cooler (Artic Cooling Freezer Pro 7).

I just submitted a thread to find some added Firewire 800 ports and a couple more SATA ports as well since all the HD's and DVD drive will eat up them all.

Any thoughts comments? Video card decent?

Have a mod close your other thread. No need to have two threads with similar questions. Plus it keeps things nice and clean.

Anyway the build looks fine. Just an FYI, the Ip35 Pro does have internal headers for firewire ports. So if your case has a firewire port (which the 900 does I believe), you can just hook it up to there. Or you can just find a external firewire bracket that'll hook up to the internal headers.

As for additional hard drives, get this controller card:
Promise SATA 300 TX4 PCI 4 Port SATA II Controller Card - $57

With that said, it may be a better idea to go with this motherboard instead:
Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3P Intel P35 Motherboard - $157

It's cheaper than the IP35 Pro yet it has two actual Firewire ports and an additional 2 SATA ports for a total of 8 SATA ports.

The IP35 Pro has 2 1394a headers on the motherboard, but you'll have to get a separate card for 1394b support if you need that. The IP35 Pro comes with a bracket which gives you 2 USB ports, one firewire and one mini firewire port.

You could use the two eSATA ports with external drives if you need to, or you can add up to 2 IDE devices.
 
Thanks guys.

Danny I guess that is really the board I was looking for and since I won't be OC'ing I don't think there is any reason to go with the Abit. I need RAID and this board you mentioned also has that as well.

I WOULD like Firewire 800 (I need to download from a card reader as fast as possible, but can deal with Firewire 400).

Any issues with going with this new board over the Abit? I really like the fact that it has 8 sata ports and 1 Pata port as well. This also helps because now I don't need an additional card either. Is the onboard RAID similar or easy to setup?

Thank you again

I will have a mod close that other thread.
