SuperG.... second revision

I have opted to break the system into more components so that it is easier to upgrade. The motherboard has been changed to an ABIT LX6. RAM has been upgraded to Corsair grade A SDRAM. The case has been changed to PC Power and Cooling. CD ROM and Floppy have been added. The format for the configuration is now a base configuration with upgrade options. I am considering ESC Technologies to provide, assemble and test the base configuration. (except I don't see the Revolution 3d on their site) whatisnew.com
Has anyone had any experiences good or bad with ESC? They use just in time inventory (according to their web site) They claim no outdated components. This is especially important for the motherboard IMO. Also, nothing blinks on their website!!
