Building A New SFF System

I think this looks like the final build. Any last opinions or suggestions?

My friend's budget is around $550. It has to be a Shuttle PC and it has to have AGP since he has an ATI Radeon 9800PRO. He also has hard drives he can use for this system so he basically needs only the motherboard, CPU, and memory. He would also like to add a DVD-RW to this system.

Socket 939
SN95G5V3 - $285
Corsair ValueSelect 1GB (2x512MB) - $81.25
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice - $146
NEC DVD Burner ND-3520A - $38

Total: $550.25

These prices are based on Newegg so please let me know if I can get a cheaper deal from another site shipped to California. Thanks!
 
Why doesn't your friend want a DVD-RW...? The NEC is only around $41 dollars (only 10 dollars more than your current setup) and I think it's well worth the cost. The decision between s939 and s754, I suggest s939 because the Venice core runs a lot cooler and there a marginal performance increase as well.
