I'm planning on ordering the parts for a new C2D rig when Scan reopen after New Years. I'm building the cheapest C2D machine possible whilst still leaving upgrade potential.
This is the list I've come up with, which I think is now pretty final;
Before I order, can somebody tell me whether I've made good choices? A couple more bits of information to avoid the obvious questions; there is no optical drive because I will be using an external USB DVD-RW that I already have (just to save that extra £15), I hardly ever game so as long as 3D performance is comparable with my venerable 2GHz Barton + 5900 I'll be happy, & the machine will be running Linux so if anybody knows that any of this hardware is glaringly incompatible please tell me now!

Ah well, I do have exams to be revising for... just would've been nice to have the weekend to get it all set up!
