Get 2x1GB instead of 4x512MB and please sell some of your hard drives if you put 6 HDD's in a computer it will surely generate a lot of heat.
 
Ditch all the crapxtor drives. Seagate rocks.

Anyway, I would suggest maybe a Creative XFI sound card, and ditch the optical drives and get one Lite-on DVD-rw.

Maybe think about selling some of those hard drives and combining them into 2 or 3 larger drives.

Less drives = less heat in the case.

Less drives = less chance of data loss. It's just a matter of probabilities. Plus Maxtor sucks.

You might get a minor performance increase if you change from 4X512 to 2X1gb. Plus you'll leave yourself open for memory upgrades.

Sell the 7800GT and get 2 GTX's.
