whosdat - yes, the cd-rw burner is there. Thanks for checking.

linderman - Thank you for your comments, Joe. I added a Western Digital 200GB serial ATA to the order, which is on the way. Monday I should begin building.

Question - Is there a recommended way to begin assembly? Like maybe to first assemble the case, psu and cpu, then startup and add all else one item at a time, or????
The main reason I had planned to re-use the old HD was to avoid buying another Windows XP CD. I guess I could always load the new HD with my Win 98 SE CD, then run my XP update CD. Bad idea??

Thanks again
Chuck
