Your system specs look fantastic !! should be one hellva smoker

CPU cooler = ??????? i would imagine the retail cpu comes with heatsink and fan ???????

the hard drive is going to be your VERY weak link.

I would look on ebay for atleast an 80gig Western Digital ATA 100 with 8meg cache / they can be bought NEW cheap ~~ $40.00

that ATA 66 is going to crawwwwwl in that system !!

Congrats on a fine system / you have done your homework well A+++

you EVEN got the right high quality PSU needed to run your beast.

regards & enjoy / expect to hear some input when you get her together

PS >> PM me when you are ready and I will explain how to eaily add service pack 2 to your Win XP CD (burnable update !!) / so they load together on install day.
OHHHH YEAH you wont be able to just pop in your old drive and boot into windows unless you run SYSPREP before you pull it from your old system !!

regards

joe
