I've been kinda out of the computer loop for a while. I usually stick to the OT and Political Forums, so my computer IQ has diminished as of late. My sister, who is going to be a Theatre major, needs a computer. She really isn't a gamer, and wants a system to do research, type papers, surf the internet, and listen to music. She really emphasizes the music part, and mentioned she wants to watch some movies as well on it. So with that in mind, here is the system I have come up with. There will be no OC'ing. Please critique it for me.
AMD Barton 2500+ 333 Bus Retail
Epox 8RDA+ Nforce2 MotherBoard
Corsair XMS TwinPack 2*256MB PC3200 (for Dual DDR)
Sapphire Atlantis ATI Radeon 9600 Pro
Dell FP1800 LCD monitor
Audigy 2 OEM
Creative Labs MegaWorks 550D THX Speakers
WD 120JB 8MB 7200 RPM HD
Lite On 16x DVD Rom (Black)
Lite On 52*32*52 Burner (Black)
Sony Floppy (Black)
Microsoft Natural Keyboard (Black and White)
Microsoft Optical Explorer Mouse (Silverish)
AHANIX dboX (Black) Mid-Tower PC Case link (This is a gamble, but I like the look.)

Round Cables and all that stuff.
Total comes to $1700 after its all said and done. What do you think?
