problems/warnings/advice?

Well, this is my first post on these boards... although I'm familiar with many other tech boards, and I'm a regular reader of the [H]...

Anyways, I'm working on building a new computer. My old one (Athlon XP 2500, Abit NF7-S, Radeon 9700 Pro) just was killed due to a faulty power supply, so I've just ordered a bunch of parts... here's the list:

Shuttle XPC SN25P
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (90nm)
ATI Radeon X800 XL
Corsair TwinX1024-3200XL
Western Digital WD2500JD
NEC ND-3520A/GNB 16X DVD±RW

I already have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and other accessories. Anybody have any tips, hints, or advice on this particular setup? I already have all of the software I need to load on to this machine. I have a pretty good idea how well this machine will run, and I think it'll be sufficient for most of my gaming needs. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on system setup or any specific things I'll need to know when putting this system together, or even any owner opinions on the Shuttle XPC SN25P... I have plenty of experience putting computers together, but you never know what specific complications a certain system will have...

However, I'm looking forward to this new system!

Just curious, what kind of case do you have?

My old case is an Antec Plus 1080AMG. It's a very solid case, and I'd recommend if you need a large ATX tower. However, it's really, really heavy, so that's why I'm going the SFF route this time.
