Hard disk: Lots of choices. My personal recommendation is
the IBM 60GXP series. 7200 rpm ATA100 (FAST!)
You can get the 40GB version at newegg.com
for $118 including S/H.
CPU: Go for the gusto. Get the new Athlon XP 1800+ (1.53 ghz). Again at newegg.com for $223 including S/H.
HSF: You need good cooling for that chip. My personal choice is the Millennium Glaciator. Good balance between high power cooling and reasonable fan noise. Direct from the company »www.millennium-thermal.com for a paltry $38.03 including S/H.
