i've also had 2 sticks of memory go bad on me and cause random blue screens, so i prefer more and smaller modules. cheaper to replace when they crap out.
i also support the idea of an OS drive and a 'game' drive. i'm not all that far off from dadhawk-- i try to keep the OS drive relatively small(i usually run a 128-320gb drive) so i'm not even temped to try to use it as a game drive at any point. forcing me to keep other drives for storage also helps significantly when i butcher the OS drive to the point i need to reload it. all my files stay on the other drives, and i can be up and running again in a few hours instead of weeks trying to figure out which files were lost.
good call on the modular power supply. it took way too long for them to start making them! makes wiring much much simpler!
