Wrong forum, this should be in General Hardware.

That aside, it looks pretty good.

Dump the SB Live, it caused me nothing but problems. Right now I have a Hercules Game Theater XP, but they are pricey. Take a look at a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz. Much better than the SB Live IMHO.

Enlight and Antec cases are good quality cases, I have an InWin, which has served me well.

As for the NIC, get an Intel NIC. They are worth the extra 15 bucks. Same with the modem, try and get one that is not a WinModem (software driven).
