beautiful.. honestly, that's the first system specs that someone has put that I agree with on everything

what monitor do you have?
how about keyboard/mouse?
what about a Cd/dvd burning maybe?
plan on overclocking?
and what HSF? stock?

Nice system there, I wish I could afford to get one as nice.

That's a nice system.

Consider stepping up to the Athlon64 3200+ 2.2GHz Newcastle for about $35 more.

You can buy pre-painted silver (or other color) floppy and CD drives or bezels from Directron.

Is that the CAS2.5 or CAS3 Corsair Value Select PC3200?

Western Digital hard-drives perform well, but they are a bit noisy. I may go with Seagate for my next purchase for that reason.

Or pick up a little bottle of silver model paint for a couple of bucks. That will probably last for as long as the silver / brushed aluminum look is the "in" thing.
