Oops, Correction... the memory is Kingmax and the hdd is 7200 RPM!

And probably 80gb not MB..

Yah, You got me... It is 80GB! So, what do you think about the system?

The only "NO" i put is for the video card. ATI are great for 2D and for DVD playback. but for games forget it, buy a Geforce 2 or 3 instead. For the rest of the components, all great.

Yah, I figured that card was going to get some flak, I bought it a couple years ago for my existing system and didnt really want to fork out another $150 on a new one... But I guess I might as well do it right.

Thanks

Are you planning on overclocking? If so, you might have a hard time keeping the case quiet. If not, then dont get PC150 RAM.

Yes, I was going to overclock it... What difference will that make noise wise?

Overclock = More heat = More fans = More noise
