*Swear to god my final edit tonight, now that I know Pre-order servers are officially down.
**The G-Skill 2gig DDR2 1066 ram is listed as "For intel chipsets only" FYI... so I wouldn't trust it to work.**
Also the CAS is high and timings are pretty wide, though on a budget that's fine.
Here's what I would do.. though that looks like a solid build! Kudos.
What you don't have are Optical drives and a monitor
(don't know if you need those.)
Pick up 4 gigs of ram (40 bones), a good card (the 4830 will do nicely) and you're going to be much happier.
Given it's a little pricier at 540 out the door, and you have to wait to have it shipped.

As far as the machine you priced.. for parts at that level it should do very nicely. I think it's a good build. I'd do it.
Personally, I don't like the 1066mhz ram, I've always encountered problems with the 1066 ram when building. On my friend's build, 2 years ago I'll admit, we had to adjust timing and voltage to match or else he'd get system instability.
