I just had bad luck with my HDD's as I had to RMA 2 of them shame the data had no back ups so I lost 80gb of music half of which is very scarce to find on the interwebz!

Upcoming changes are a 2nd monitor, another 2x2gb of dominators and a Corsair H50 enclosed water cooler. New mobo maybe too.

Yeah, I just got my 2nd "monitor" and by monitor I mean a 47" LCD HDTV. But yeah if I do manage to get the money together I was going to try and buy 3 more 500GB blacks and set up a Raid 0+1 cause I'm always paranoid about a drive failing after my last HD died right after I had downloaded the whole entire series(up to the last season) of Lost. Still have yet to begin to try and download it again.

Definately make sure there is a back up array for it, next time if I ever set my array up I will do just so. Luckily I remembered all I lost and everything prior had a hard back up but the music. Seeing the GTX480 is making me want to sell my 295 and try and get a pair of those to SLI but I bet they will cost an arm and a leg.
