    which hard drive config is faster?

    if you want to load your OS faster, you want a 7200rpm Internal hdd. no contest. good luck booting up from a FireWire drive. also, make sure you have a cache size of at least 8mb. this helps immensely with speed.

    Is this a reasonable cpu o'c?

    looks pretty good to me. if you want a mb with agp/pci lock, get an Abit board. it's a decent oc, though. mine's being held back as well, except it's the ram that's holding it back. i tried a different type of ram with 2-2-2-5 latency and was able to overclock my 2.4 to 3.4ghz!

    need help picking an lcd monitor

    The Dell looks nice. The NEC/Mitsubishi has 25ms response time, so I'd suggest against that. I love that brand of LCD, but if you're gonna do any gaming, you'll want at least 16ms response time. there's a nice sony 19" with 12ms response...
