If you must have nvidia then why not, and to be fair, in the US, the 7600GT is the better buy. for some reason the X1800GTO is a lot more expensive compared to other cards in the US than the UK. Over here, the X1800GTO's about £120 and the 7600GT's about £130. At newegg, the X1800GTO is $190 and the 7600GT is $130 post-rebate.

Hmm, that always looked dull to me. Quite nice to look at but I really do love my Lexa, fantastic looking beast!

the Westeren Digital Raptor 150 GB Sata are excellent HD 16mb cache. they have an 74 gig that less expensive its 8mb cache
drives i would go with the Plextors(there pricey) if you can't swing that next in line would be Lite-ON or the BenQs drives are good
Yes get the one with two fans

For the price, that case does look pretty sweet. As for opticals, that's also a matter of opinion. Some people swear by Benq burners, but I thinkthey're rubbish. You're generally safe with LG, NEC, Plextor, Pioneer and Samsung, and for hard disks, Western Digital, Samsung and Seagate are the three I vote for.
Fans are important to have, but you ideally want to try and find quiet ones. I never knew how quiet PCs could be until I put some effort into getting a quiet one.

With cases, they'll all survive, it's just some will be a bit more pleasant to build PCs in than others, the cheap ones tend to have sharp edges so be careful!
With opticals, the best solution is to get a supermulti (DVD writer that does +/-R and RW, RAM and Dual Layer) and a normal DVD-ROM. Cheap and effective solution. The total cost of my LG and ND-4570 was about £40.
