Why only half a gig of RAM? and what gfx card are you getting?
Wouldn't go for the Western Digital drive either, when ever a HDD fails at work, 9 times out of 10 you open the case to find a western digital.

My spec,

Abit IC7-G, 800FSB
Pentium 4 3.0 Northwood
1Gb PC3200 DDR RAM
2 x 40Gb nasty old ATA133 HDD
Sapphire Radeon 9600 XT 256Mb

nice but personally i'd change hard drive to Seagate Barrauda - just never had any problems with them - personal perference + make sure u get 7200 8mb cache one of either drive - about £10 dearer but well worth it - personally i don't like the case - but its all down to personally taste - nice pc tho

I dont know why i said Western Digital

I was deciding between Maxtor and Seagate but im gonna go for the Barracuda

I always get 7200rpm drives, and SATA ones dont come in 2 meg i dont think anyway, im defo getting an 8 meg cache one.

I went for an AMD64 3200+ with 512kb of L2 cache because id rather the extra 200mhz instead of sacrificing it for an extra 512kb of l2 cache.

Ive already got a Hightech Pro IceQ Radeon 9800 pro



And ive only got 512mb of RAM because this stuff is tested stable to overclock up to 2.8v without fucking the warranty if it blows, and it cost me £80



Dont ask me why i bought a dual channel kit cos i already know that the AMD64 3200+ only has a single memory controller
