Users / About to take the plunge...!

Hi,

I've been lurking around these forums quite a bit over the last few months and have finally got together a shopping list.

My requirements are to set up a Hybrid server to play 1080P files to my 46" TV, and also to be futureproof to cope with the latest technologies.

I was wondering whether anyone could cast their expert opinion on the set up and let me know if it looks as though it will work?

Case - SilverStone LC20B
PSU - 400W Silverstone SST-ST40EF+ super silent, 80%+ eFF' , v.1 ROHS
Motherboard - Abit AN-M2HD
CPU - AMD AM2 Athlon 64 X2 6000+ , Windsor Core, Dual Core 3.0GHz, 1MB Cache
Cooler - NORTHQ 3393
RAM - 2GB (2x1GB) Corsair TwinX XMS2 Pro, DDR2 PC2-6400 (800), 240 Pins, Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 5-5-5-12
HDD - 80 GB Western Digital WD800AAJS Caviar SE, SATA 300, 7200 rpm, 8MB Cache, 9 ms
Bluetooth - DLink Bluetooth USB (1.1) Adapter (DBT-122)
Optical Drive - Lite-ON LH-20A1S-11C LiteOn 20x DVD±R, 8x DVD±DL, DVD+RW x8 / -RW x 6, DVD-RAM x12, SATA, Retail

Will the case need its own fan as well, or should the setup be cool enough?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
