Looks like a good case IMO.
One thing about RAM, if you want registered, it can highly narrow down what you can pick from for a motherboard
Registered Pros:
Error correction
Allows for very high amounts of RAM to be in the server
Good for anything where data integrity is of importance.
Registered Cons:
Expensive
Few mainstream consumer grade boards support it, tends to be server only equipment
EXPENSIVE
Standard Pros:
Cheap
Cheap...
Did I say cheap?
Oh, and plenty of choices for it!
Standard Cons:
No error correction
Limited in how much a system can use if server motherboard handles both registered/unbuffered - Typical boards support 512GB+ of registered, while unbuffered tends to peak at 32-64GB
Not ideal for anything where storage of data is important, especially when it comes time to write data due to potential for errors.
I think it would be worth going registered in the long run, just to help minimize potential issues with data use.
CPU/Mobo, just find something you really like and will work for you. Just keep in mind the software you may end up running on it, and what demands it could potentially have.
The other day I decided to watch some of my anime using my PS3 and PS3MS, about 5 seconds in, it skipped 3 or so minutes into the video, a minute later it jumped back. Still can't explain that one. PLEX seems ok with it via the PS3 though...
Have you tried out something like WinX DVD Ripper Platinum or DVDFAB Blu-Ray for your ripping needs? Or are you wanting to have the dvd menus and such come up like a normal DVD when you select a title?
