The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
You may want to check out the latest generation of AMD(ATI) graphics cards. Their 5xxx series card come with something they call EyeFinity and the idea is they support three screens.
The case. I think the box is fine but I have no idea on the quality of the PSU. I my experience a quality PSU is one of the things that matters for stability over the long run. I have seen bad PSU which over-volted all parts of the system they were used in and while it ran fine I can't imagine running out-of-spec voltage for the disk drives or CPU is a good thing.
Storage. Have you thought about backup? And also won't you need a secondary hard drive?
Also how about keyboard and mouse? Depending on what apps you will run there may be special input devices worth considering.
Finally if want to go nuts about the "workstation" concept then consider ECC memory as it more stable than the normal stuff. Personally I think money is better spend elsewhere like first class PSU.
