advice on a system setup wishlist off of newegg?

Yeah try to stay at a gig of ram but bring it down below $200 (ie no heat sinks). He can probably find a cheaper mouse and power supply. The hard drive can be scaled back to around 80gb unless he wants to do video editing or d/l videos. He might like/need the case for portability and looks, but otherwise get a "plainer" Antec.
 
Not bad. I'm with Jessie on using less expensive, yet quality, RAM. Outside of that, the ABIT AV8 would be a nice board to use to save a few more bucks. Used it in a recent system build and the overall level of features at a ~$110 price point for a Socket-939 board was hard to beat. I believe there was also a post for the XFX GF 6800 that could shave another $20 off the system (price was through Newegg in the HD forum).
