The IBM drives are faster than the Maxtor drives, but other than that it looks like a good system.

thanks Spook.
The IBM drives are a bit more expensive, but i think i'll be generally happy with the maxtor.

What about a DVD drive? More and more software is comming on DVD now.

Go with the IBM HDD if you can afford it.

Everything else looks good.

I would prefer an ASUS CDROM over an ACER CDROM....

Which particular Ricoh CDRW are you getting? The MP7120A does not support JustLink, but the MP7125A does.

The acer 50x is quieter than the asus 50x

All looks good to me,nice system
