The second offering comes from Zotac who are also releasing with stock clocks for the core and memory and shaders. The model number for the Zotac is: Zotac 9800GX2 (ZT-98TEY2P-FSP) and will set you back a tidy €539.
Keep a look out for some official announcements / listings for this card hopefully within the next couple of days.

Is the lure of reportedly the most powerful GFX card tempting you as release date nears or is it just too expensive for the performance?

personally i'd choose OCZ's reaperX's over the corsair
and a GT instead of a GTS if you wanna save a tad more money, just clock the GT
rest looks good though
personally dont like the case either though :p

Dont bother with the raptors.
Indeed unless you can get a notice cheap raptor a single 750GB drive is similarly priced to a retail raptor and in most cases its faster.
reaperX, raid0 2 normal drives. Rest looks good mate... Not that long until the 9800gtx comes out for $300 so i'm not sure how that will impact gts prices, perhaps lower them...
