Do you NEED a full tower case for some reason? Could save a few dollars on the case, if you were so inclined.

Mitsumi 54X CD-ROM Drive, Model FX5400-$23.00

Get at least a DVD-ROM or CD-RW, if not a DVD-ROM/CD-RW Combo drive. They aren't that much more expensive and are well worth it. Lite-On is a good, inexpensive brand.

Geil Dual Channel 184 Pin 1GB(512MBx2) DDR PC-3500-$179.00

Planning to overclock? If not, go with PC3200. Kingston HyperX might be a cheaper alternative (not certain), but everyone has their favorite...

GIGABYTE 865PE Chipset Motherboard for Intel Socket 478 CPU-$94.99
Intel Pentium 4/ 3.0C GHz 800MHz FSB-$218.00

Could save a few dollars by going with a slower proc and overclocking. 3.0C may or may not overclock as well as a slower proc. Depends on if you want to overclock or not/ save a few dollars. ???
