Will this system be OK in an Antec Aria

Hi, I am thinking about putting the below system together in an Antec Aria case, do you think it will be OK? I realise it will be warm, but do you think I will have any overheating problems?

A64 3200+ S754
Zalman 7000B-Alcu @ full speed
Gigabyte GA-K8VM800M
2x512MB DDR400
Leadtek 6600GT
2x 36GB Raptors

Thanks

It should be ok, although the raptors will be a bit toasty since they are quite hot drives and there are no fans over the drive cage.

I have an Aria running the following:

3Ghz LGA Presscott (J series which run a bit cooler than earlier prescotts)
Gigabyte Geforce 6600GT with passive heatsink (it has a PCI slot cooler next to it though)
2x 512Mb DDR400
1x 160Gb Seagate Barracuda V SATA (2nd generation with NCQ)

Idle CPU temps at idle 35-45c depending on ambient temp.
Load CPU temps 55c (thats the temp I set speed fan to keep it at, it never goes over that by more than 1-2 degrees because when it does the fans speed up).

CPU fan usually idles at 1300RPM, under load sits around 3000-3800RPM (the stock speeds are higher, that is using speedfan).
