Looks like a nice setup. I have just built a new VMC server around the DP35DP myself. Have found it very good so far. Have you had any driver issues with Vista and the Intel stuff? I had a problem and still don't know if it was the Dolby drivers, been too afraid / busy to retry.
I can tell you the DP35DP will happily run 6 x SATA and a PATA HDD - you can never have too much space!
Best of luck.
