18GB Is getting pretty small by today's standards.

--sound blaster live! mp3
? Do you really want to pay the extra $ for that software. Why not save and get the Value. (All software cn be 'found' anyway)
--dvd rom
? Speed? Manufacturer?
--cd burner
? Speed? Manufacturer?
--optiquest 19" q95 monitor
? You should be able to find a ViewSonic e790 for the same price.
--voodoo3 tv/fm graphics card
? You'd be better off getting a GF2 MX based card (V3 is getting very old)

Are you buying all the parts or do you have some parts already?

The hard drive is small, the video card is neither here nor there, and no overclocking!

If you don't wanna overclock, why buy an abit board? Thats basically all their good for. Anyway, if you really want i can type out the treatise on how to overclock.

As for the video card, what I meant when i said neither here nor there was. Its neither a gaming card, nor a tv/video capture card. The only card that does both well is the radeon all-in-wonder, and possibly (if they ever produce those damn daughter boards) the geforce2 MX.
