Help the newbie with his build!!

[Talonman]

I am building my new gaiming rig, and have never built a system from scratch before....

This is what I recently baught so far, most of which is still in route to my house right now!! Gasp....

Display:
(1) Gateway FPD2485W HD Display - (1,920 x 1,200 normal resolution)

PSU
(1) Thermaltake Toughpower 1000w modular PSU. (Overkill I know, but PSU's are best at 30% to 80% of their max load. I just need to make sure I use more than 300w of power.) (Should be running cool, and will have it's big 140mm fan blowing air up at the cards. Could be a wicked combo for air circulation, in the TJ09's case?)

(1) D-TEK FuZion Universal CPU Waterblock - 1/2"
(10') Tygon 1/2" ID (3/4" OD) R-3603 Laboratory-Grade tubing.

Lighting: (Want the ability to turn lights on or off using the 2 togle switches on fan controller)
(2) 12in Dual Blue Cold Cathode Kit
(1) Cold Cathode Sound Activation Module Sunbeam (Not sure if I need this, but it was only 3 bucks!)
(3) 5 Feet Blue EL Wire Kit

Cables:
(2) GENERIC 18" 2-Head Red SATA (SERIAL ATA 150) Cable Model SERIAL ATA 18 - OEM (Probably too short, but they were the longest I could find on Newegg)
(3) ORION Pro Series 18" 180 and 90-Degree-Angled, SATA (SERIAL ATA 150) Cable, 2-Head Model 700-201-05 (Might be too short again, some of the boy's with TJ09's are talking 25" and 36" for SATA length?)

My biggest worry right now is the WaterKegIII Xtreme dude (Seth) is backed up right now, so hes not taking any new orders, until he completes his existing ones first. He is a nice dude! I wanted a WaterKegIII Xtreme so bad too....
I am waiting for an e-mail telling me he is willing to take orders again...
I am not sure if I should give up on the dream, and find another all in one cooling solution. I was looking for active, and external.

The unit I really want: WaterKegIII Xtreme with it's THERMOCHILL PA 120.3 rad!

I wonder how much cooling performance I would be giving up getting one of these new units, rather than running the WaterKegIII Xtreme?

The ZALMAN ZM-RESERATOR-XB BLACK RESERATOR XT COMPLETE WATER COOLING KIT (Note: This one has a CPU block, but I already have the D-TEK FuZion Universal CPU Waterblock - 1/2". I cant tell if this unit has 3/8" or 1/2" lines...)

Or this unit...

Exos-2 LX, Black (Note: This one has 3/8" lines, I wish it has 1/2" to match my CPU block)

I probably should just wait it out with Seth and get what I really want? ...
What do you guys think?

I am still holding off on the motherboard, CPU, and GPU until I see how things shake out in Nov with nVidia's GPU's lineup, and Penryn quad processors.

I have eaither 3,000 left to complete this build, or 2,500 if I can get Seth to take my order on the WaterKegIII Xtreme .....
