Not bad imo.
Just two things I have stupid comments on.
1: I wouldn't have bought a soundblaster. Their usefulness died as soon as half-ass onboard cards started appearing. Of course, unless you do audio work/editing.
2: That case. I'm NEVER going to buy myself a case with a speaker-grill front again. Ever. I loathe those cases so much. They're like dust magnets that are a pain in the ass to clean, never have good airflow - thanks to 1 ton of dust stuck behind that damn grill. Take a shop vac to that bastard, and it STILL doesn't get clean. Cleaning those things out is a bitch.

I currently have this baby:
and it aint so bad. . .it does get really dusty. . .and I cleaned it like after a month. ..it has like little cloths . . .just water them and voila. but thats also because its in my dirty-carpet room.
keep it on regular tile or wood floor. shouldnt be dusty. . .
It has great airflow tho! Ive never seen any high tmps there. . .and when i put my hand on the back i feel nothing but cool air comming out.

Yours isn't nearly as bad as mine.

They suck so hard to clean. Maybe pull those filters off and wash em with water - but I've got other cases where *pff* blow the air thru em and they're dust free. Not these.

Ok, since AMD was mentioned, what do people think about this processor?
AMD Opteron 2346 HE Quad Core Processor Socket F 1.8GHZ Barcelona 2MB 55W 65NM
I was considering seeing if I could swap this thing into an old P4 (I have no idea what socket that p4 is so I don't know if I need to upgrade mobo and all that crap) and maybe use it for some crap gaming. (Maybe SC2/D3 is enough) and maybe some storage stuff.

You need a new AMD server board.
