Update: After grinding the machine through two relentless jobs, editing 1080p xdcamEX for a show, and doing heavy After Effects work, I am happy to say that everything continues to work perfectly. In fact, of all the systems we're using, the others being Apple Mac Pros, this system is running the best and smoothest. We were hit with a heat wave and even overclocked, the CPU fans managed to keep everything under control. So: if you're going to overclock, make sure to invest in a good CPU cooler as well as good, quiet internal fans and powersupply fans.
I highly recommend Snow Leopard with one caveat: CS5 does have some issues with the latest os x update. I find myself using cs4 more and am hoping that OSX 10.6.5 will resolve some graphics issues introduced in 106.4 What is interesting, and somewhat comforting to note is that these issues exist for Apple Mac Pro users too.
