Well I just got back from Iraq and the months prior to getting home I decided to start shopping for my PC Components for my next build. Thanks to forum members I got the best deals on most of my hardware, and the total cost is under $1500 (well, would be more but I had a few things like the LCD lying around)

Specs:

Thermaltake Mozart Tx Case
OCZ 600w ModXStream Pro Modular Power Supply
Asus P5K Deluxe WiFi-AP
Intel E8400 Dual Core Processor
VisionTek ATI Radeon HD 4870 512mb
2x 150GB Raptor X in Raid 0
3x 500GB Seagate 7200.10
2x2GB OCZ Platinum DDR2 1066
LG Blu-Ray Burner
Thermaltake Bigwater 780i Water Cooling loop with Swiftech Storm rev 2 waterblock
Thermaltake 7" LCD Motorized Touch Screen

I plan to later add a PicoITX system to the mix, mainly for web browsing or keeping tabs on my stocks and Instant Messengers while gaming which will utilize the 7" LCD. Let me know what you guys think, still not sure what I'll be doing to the case other than painting it.
 
Pretty decent build. Hope you enjoy it!

Oh and welcome back!
 
Looks pretty good. I would however get a different PSU and a board from the newer P5Q series which uses the P45 chipset (basically the same as the P5K series except with the newer chipset which tends to overclock better). Of course, if you already have those parts, they'll do just fine.
 
Those Thermaltake Bigwater units are crap. If you're really set on water cooling piece together your own kit or at least use the Swiftech all-in-one kits (H20-120, H20-220).
