SFF computer

[mezrah]

I'm starting a new system from scratch. It's gonna be sff, and around $700. I have the monitor and 1 gb ram already. So have a look and let me know what you think:

ASPIRE X-QPACK-NW-BK/420 Black...................................$80
BIOSTAR Socket 939 NVIDIA GeForce 6100........................$75
AMD64 3000+ Venice........................................................$146
Sapphire X800GTO2 (mod to x850xt)..................................$199
Maxtor DiamondMax 160GB SATA.......................................$77
NEC 3540 Black DVD Burner...............................................$42.99
Windows XP Home..............................................................$91.95
Total: $711.94

Now this is all newegg prices. I plan to shop around for prices, these are the parts though. Now, I could cut out xp (I have 2000) and upgrade somewhere, but I think the gto2 -> x850xt mod is fantastic for $199.

I like most choses. I'm prone to go for the daul core for AMD. It alot more costly and most people don't need it so i can understand skipping it.
I like the chemmning cases little more then the Xpack, since they don't have side windows.
I hate XP home. Either go XP pro or just keep 2000.
If are buying a new hard drive I perfer seagate over all others. Longer warenty and vert quiet. Also with MIR you can seagate SATA 200GB for under $50 alot.

But all in all good choices

Pretty solid choices for $700. It would be ez to nit pic the list but it wouldnt make much of a difference in the end.
