Does the "silenced" make any difference especially since I will probably end up with a noisy HSFU and are there diadvantages with going with silenced version? Shortened fan life etc or less cooling for PSU?

Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2 - OEM BULK - $78.00
SONY 1.44MB $7.50
Asus A7N8X Deluxe Retail- $138.00
Athlon XP 2800+ = $ 340
2 "3 connector" round cables= 15.00
3 X Corsair XMS C2 PC-3200 CMX512-3200C2PT Model#: CMX512-3200C2PT 134.00 x3= $402
With the 3500 models and "Extreme" and Hyper Z Twin x 32MX8 64MX64 .. then reading if two slot are occupied you get x performance but not if 3 etc for this mobo. Not really following all of that. How does this rams stack up? If not now at some point I had planned at populating all 3 slots for 1.5 GB will this result in reduced speed and is anyone runnning this mobo with three slots populated?
Any extra cpu overhead for using the on-board lan or diffrence in quality performance cpu overhead with the two different onboard chipsets?
Already Have:
WD1200JB
WD2000JB
Sony DRU500AX
LiteOn 52x24x52
Adding Later:
ATI 9900 or Nv35 maybe
maybe try raidng two raptors to make use of serial Ata raid on the mobo
HD coolers necessary or extra cooling?
Recomendations on a good HSFU?
Recommendations on a quality ATA controller card as I will end up with 2 hard drives, maybe 4 if I use the serial raid, and 3 optical drives as you need one for cd-r/w one for dvd-rw and one for ripping dvd.
Thanks for the input.
