Ok, rather than posting all the specs, I'll just link to my wishlist on newegg. This is the system I am planning on ordering (all of it but the sony DVD burner) ASAP. I want to build it this weekend (1/31) so ya. What I want to know is if everything on my list is all I need, or if I'll need extra stuff (such as cables/etc.).

If you have any advice for the system please feel free to either respond on here or rate it. If the things won't work out of hte box without modification (such as needing a new PSU or more fans/fan accessories) let me know.

Like I've stated in the past, I'm new to system building and this will be the first one I build so your input is very much appreciated.

Thx

Hopefully this WishList works

If the link doesn't work, I'll just post the products on here.

all the cables you need come with the components. Need a new mouse? Also the 2.53Ghz P4 is $60 less and the 2.4 is $100 less. I'd be leaning towards the 2.53 or even the 2.4. With taht extra $100 you could buy a really good fan and then oc the processor past 2.66 speeds.
