I have a similar setup.

I have this case -- it's excellent. I stays cool and is easy to work on,
as well as being solid and well built.

I have the Tyan Tiger S2460 motherboard with dual Athlon MP 1600+
processors. It runs well but your applications need to know how to use
the second processor to get the best performance.

I am now running with 512Mb of Kingston ECC Registered DDR.
I started with 1Gb but I was getting memory errors from what I
think was a faulty DDR stick.

I have this on another machine. It's very nice but the Sony 24X10X40
I have works just as well (and is cheaper!).

> Raid Controllers: - Adaptec 3210S RAID 2CH U160
I am not using RAID. I'm assuming you're adding more HDDs
if you're going to run RAID. Anyway, my experience of various
Adaptec boards is that they're good and solid.
Anyway, the short answer is that on my very similar system, TS2000i
runs very fast. I have had a few issues with the machine crashing but
I am currently blaming these on Windows XP Professional (which looks
nice) but as usual, Microsoft wouldn't know commercial-grade stability
if it bit them on the arse.
Cheers,
Keith.
