Zalman PSUs are absolute crap (except their super high end 1000W+ ones. You're better off going with a more reputable supplier, like Seasonic or Corsair.
I'm extremely fond of my Antec P182 case by the way - have a look and compare it to the one you picked.
What are you planning on doing with the HDDs btw? If RAID, what kind of setup? I seriously recommend avoiding a raid 1 on the boot drive, and even if you do have it on the data drive, get a UPS. Any power failure is going to screw up a raid 1 array in ways much worse than a regular single drive. Raid 0 actually recovers more gracefully from it.
