Noyz-
My understanding is that if you are doing serious video editing then you can never have enough RAM and Hard Drive space. 4GB of RAM may seem insane but consider BF2 likes 2Gb of RAM and you can see the norms are changing quickly. I am not a pro on video editing, especially at the level you indicate that you will be operating but it may be something to consider.
Maxtor HDD's seem to be the subject of a lot of "help me" posts so you may want to look at Western Digital. You could put four 200GB SATA II's in RAID 0+1 and have both a fast access time and built in HDD back-up/redundancy and do it for $400 (ZZF has them on sale for $104 each).
Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck and looks like a well thought out rig.
