New Computer Build

Building my first legit computer! woo! I've bought plenty of parts in the past for my own and other client's computer, but have never built my own.  Here goes nothing!

I decided to be a bit adventurous and try to shove a reasonably higher end desktop into a 18" x 14" x 6" aluminum carrying case.  What I want out of this pc is to host lots of VMs which in turn host many intensive services and compile large programs.  Here are the specs:
