  A 450/480W would be a more comfortable margin, so you may need to plan 
for a possible upgrade.

Should be doable.  The office systems that we're building are dual-core 
AMD X2 3800+, 2GB, 80GB, CD/DVD for around $950 (including XP and 
Office2003).

In order to minimize the possibility of conflicts between the 
motherboard, the CPU, and the RAM, I'd suggest going someplace that 
offers a motherboard bundle (for example, MWave).

The downside of motherboards with integrated graphics is that they are 
typically only microATX size.  For example the BOXD946GZISSL is a 
microATX with a few less expansion slots then the larger BOXDP965LTCK. 
There are inexpensive PCIe video cards in the $40 range (eVGA GeForce 
6200LE).

$686.75 Mwave E6600 motherboard bundle: MB-BA22889
- Intel BOXDP965LTCK ATX motherboard (BA22912)
- CORSAIR TWIN2X2048-5400C4 2GB KIT (BA22257)
- Assemble and Test

If you don't go with a motherboard bundle with assembly/testing, make 
sure you buy *exactly* the memory part numbers that are listed on the 
motherboard's compatibility page.  MWave doesn't seem to be willing to 
match up the faster DDR2 667 or DDR2 800 with the boards currently. 
Whether that means there are issues with the faster memory, or simply 
that MWave doesn't do a bundle with the faster memory is unknown.

Also, memory prices took a 30% jump in the past week or two.

Are you absolutely positive that you know what you're doing with RAID0? 
  Do you have a backup plan?  Do you have a large enough backup drive to 
hold an image of the RAID0 for quick restore after one of the 2 drives 
fails?  Or at least a plan to place the O/S on a smaller partition and 
image it regularly?

As long as you're sure, the 320/400GB drives are the current sweet spot 
for price/capacity.

I've used a dual-tuner Hauppaugue with SageTV.  Mostly you should go 
with a card that is compatible with either BeyondTV or SageTV.

Don't forget an OEM copy of WindowsXP and an OEM copy of MS Office if 
you need them.  That's going to drive your prices up a bit if you didn't 
factor those in.
