Okay, I'm building a system, and I've got a list of specs. Here they are :

CASE
YY5350 16" ATX Tower Case w/ 300W Power Supply & Additional Fan

MOTHERBOARD
ABit SE6 815e motherboard

CPU
Intel Pentium III 866MHz MMX CPU (3yr warranty)

RAM
2 x 128Mb PC133 SDRAM

MULTIMEDIA
40Gb 7200rpm UDMA/100 Hard Disk Drive
3.5" Floppy Drive FDD
16x Pioneer Slot Load DVDROM Drive
Plextor 12x10x32 CDRW Drive

VIDEO
ASUS V7700 Deluxe GeForce2 GTS 32Mb AGP VGA Card

SOUND
SoundBlaster Live Value OEM Sound Card
Altec Lansing ADA880R Speaker Set

MS Internet Keyboard Pro
MS Intellimouse Explorer
Intel Etherexpress Pro 10/100 Ethernet Card
Aopen 56K PCI Voice Fax Modem MODEM
Windows ME on CD OS
Sigma Designs Hollywood Plus PCI DVD Decoder Board


All this for $3,980.00 CAN ($2,641.01 US) I'm not paying for it, so I don't really care! :D This is a gift from my parents to last me through 5 years of university, and beyond...

Now should I just go for broke and up the CPU to a P3-933? Or is it not worth it? ANd as for monitors, I'm trying to decide between a range of 19"ers :
SONY CPD-G400
NEC E900+
Samsung 955DF
MAG 810FD

Other suggestions are appreciated. I've heard about the Iiyama, but they're damn difficult to get in Canada. Thanks for your help.
