Considering New Build
I'm just starting to shop around, and this is what I've found thus far that caught my eye. Any thoughts and opinions would be welcome.

CPU
Motherboard
RAM
PSU

I'll probably move over the HDD (500GB SATA) and Video Card (Radeon x1950 Pro) from my current system (as well as the monitor, speakers and keyboard/mouse), and possibly the two 1GB sticks of RAM. Still haven't found a nice case.

Looks solid to me. Go for it.

It's not AMD but it will do.

I agree, it looks like a good build, especially the processor although I have concerns on how the 2 extra processors will be utilized. What type of case are you looking for? I prefer Antec's style cases.

I'm looking for something that can handle heavy rendering/editing, so the extra processing power will be very useful.

The case should be sturdy and relatively plain; no flashing lights or clear side panel required.

Right, I've been doing research on and off and I've a more complete list now, with some changes. Your thoughts and opinions would be welcome.

CPU
CPU Cooling
Case
Motherboard
Video Card (I already have one; they'll be running in Crossfire)
PSU
RAM
DVD-RW

I'm still not entirely certain about the case; it's the closest I could find to what I want--something simple and solid, with good airflow and 120mm fans.
