Arch is a great Distro. But you need to know you need to know linux pretty good or want to learn the underpinnings of linux. Arch is like Gentoo without the compile time. You set up what you want on your system. If you are looking for A distro that just works Arch is not it. Before anyone flames me by "just works" I mean install it and not have to configure the system by hand.

POST EDIT:

Wow... all I can say is that I'm loving Arch so far. I started over with a clean base install of 2007.08-2 Don't Panic, enabled the testing repos, pacman -Syu to get the new Gnome and Xorg, added the new xf86-video-intel and have basically put together a fast and beautiful system.

This is my new Archlinux using a clearlooks gtk-2.0 theme that I made, and an icon pack I made using the UbuntuStudion icons. I made the Emerald window theme as well:
