Well I wrote a check to have a local builder order my stuff for a new machine.  If it doesn't work I'll blame it on you guys. (kidding)

Antec Twelve Hundred Black ATX Full Tower Computer Case (six cooing fans no less)
Coursair 750watt psu
Intel Core 2 Quad Yorkfield 2.83GHz LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Processor
NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
Nvidia GeForce 8800GTX video
4 gig memory (two 2 X 4gig sticks)
2 internal Seagate SATA 500gig HDD Raid 1
1 external Seagate 500gig
Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio 7.1 Channels PCI
Internal card reader
20X DVD Burner with LightScribe Black SATA
Windows XP Pro, 64 bit

Well?????????  Is this ok or should I bounce the check?

Now y'all give me some input on monitor. 
If you can, be name and model specific so I can compare specs/price/reviews.
Don't bother mentioning Lacie,  I don't have enough cash left for a starting price over $1000.

(edited)  I got a good cpu cooler also
