I wouldn't trust the stock heatsinks out here where summer temps frequently hit and exceed 40C but if you live in a cooler climate and don't do anything particularly demanding, they should be fine.

I guess I'll take my chances with another Antec... I'd just hate to get a brand new mobo, vid card, etc and then have them all get fried. My old mobo was an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe, a dang good board. :sigh: I really don't want my system to die like it did last time but I'm not sure what killed it in the first place.

Antecs are great - I really wouldn't worry about it.

As for mobos, I've got an Asus A8V and it kicks ass. No PCI-E on mine, but I don't care. I won't be upgrading for years, and everything will have changed again by then.

I think you can get a 128mb X800, but it'll be a nasty cut-down version, so avoid at all costs. The XL is meant to be excellent if you can afford it (slightly more than the standard). I have a Pro that is getting flashed to XT speed when I get around to it.
