I can't really see much wrong with that

Do you really need a floppy drive though?

[DGauld]

i have a lot of system boot floppies and stuff, and its just nice to know that i can still use good old ms-dos if need be, its more for peace of mind than frequent use! and its only like £4 or something

I can find one thing I would change! I would ditch the mouse and get a MX510... unless your left handed that is...

[DGauld]

lol, well, funny you should say that, me being left handed and all

[skattrd]

agree with myth on the mouse - unless you have a thing for M$ mice.
CPU cooler - retail chips come with one and the ones supplied with A64 chips are ok.

Speakers?

Ditch the DVD/CD-RW combo for an ordinary DVD, no point in having the CD-RW as the DVD-RW will burn CDs too

For the CPU cooler, look at the Zalman coolers, they do a circle one made out of copper with a fan in the middle

Also, if you want a quiet system the case fans might need to be replaced

I would probably get the Tagan 480W instead of the Enermax.
