This is the configuration I thought I would use: ( I am canadian, so
unfortunately, I cannot use newegg or many other sites.)

Antec Lanboy (w/350w trueblue PSU)
Athlon 2600+ 256k L2 2.13GHz. 333Mhz FSB
Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe
WD 800JB
Ati Radeon 9800 pro 128mb
Lite-on 16x DVD-ROM (black)
1024 Mb ram (Can't get corsair or hyper-x, I've heard that Samsung ram is good,
anyone have experience with it or recommend anything else?)

Welcome to AnandTech forums !
Configuration looks good 🙂
 
Just a note, you would probably want a CD burner atleast. Btw, futureshop 299.99 for 9800pro.

Lastly, if you can, swap the Athlon 2600+ to a 2500+ or any of the mobiles. More flexibility with the other ones. Samsung is good, about 210 dollars with give you a gig of those. (btw all canadian prices)
 
i think it looks good. if you can afford to get the xp2800+, go for that. it'll last you longer and is recommended by anandtech's middle range guide.
 
I would try to get a CD-RW drive in there. Hell, you might want to go for a DVD-RW drive at this point. They are getting pretty low in terms of price. That way you have a DVD-ROM, CD-RW, and DVD-RW all in one. Looks like a pretty good system though. I'm glad to see you've chosen a quality PSU.
 
i'm seconding the vote for some sort of RW drive, either DVD or combo

and i'm running samsung and haven't had any problems
