I think this assembly of computer parts will work
With the help of several kind folks on this forum, they?ve helped me to get this thing configured for me. Are all these compatible finally?

$ 98.99 ANTEC Life Style Series Black Case With 380W PS, Model "SONATA" (This one I like!)

Or this next case.

$ 62.50 Antec Solution Series SLK2650-BQE Quiet Black Mid Tower, 350W PS
$ 62.50 Antec Solution Series SLK2650-BQE Quiet Black Mid Tower, 350W PS
$103.00 AMD Athlon XP 2700+, 333MHz FSB, 256K Cache Processor
$ 66.99 BIOSTAR "M7NCG 400" nForce2 IGP Motherboard
$ 69.05 Corsair Value Select 184 Pin 512MB DDR PC-3200
$ 62.00 Seagate 80GB 7200RPM IDE Hard Drive
$ 6.50 Zonet V.92 56K PCI Data/Fax Modem (very high reviews)
$116.00 ViewSonic 17? CRT Monitor
$ 24.00 Lite-On Black DVD-ROM
$ 26.50 Lite-On CD-RW Drive Black
$ 7.00 NEC Floppy Drive
$ 4.75 KINYO Multimedia Speakers
$ 89.00 Windows XP HOME Service Pack 2 ?OEM

It probably will run close to $700.00 Total, Plus Tax & Shipping
I don?t intend to make it a gamer, or over clock anything, I just want to open enough applications and web pages I need to do my research and work.

If I need more ram than 512MB, I will pick up another stick, with the motherboard I?ve selected, it will support Dual Channel.

How about it, will this work?

Do not get a socket A CPU. Go with the new Semprons or even a 2800 socket 754 A64 on a cheap soltek Nforce 3 board.

Sempron 3100+ http://www.newegg.com/app/View...=19-104-214&depa=0 It's 10 dollars more.

Sounds like overkill, $42 board + $50 CPU +$10 shipped for a cooler would suffice while leaving enough cash to get that second 512mb stick of ram now if you like. Be certain the HDD is a 8mb cache model too.

I know all he wants is something to run desktop applications, but I figured the smart thing to do is atleast have a bit of head room for an upgrade later to the newer generation if he wanted too. The solution above is only pennys more. Hey, if AMD is giving ample opportunity, might as well take it. As for socket A, it ends with the 200 dollar 3500XP.

I got that HD in Seagate. I don?t think I will go with second 512mb stick of ram right now, I may add it in later.

No. I want a simple motherboard with both:
Onboard Video and Audio, I don?t want booming surround sound speakers taking up room. If I want to watch a CD Movie, I will just plug in a headset to listen.

Thank you all, who?ve been helpful.

Spend the extra $50 to get XP Pro.
