    This is what I have so far for my computer. I have a couple of questions:

    1. Is this a good configuration?
    2. What kind of case should I get (need an idea for fans and power supply)?
    3. What other things do you reccomend (artic silver/thermal grease)
    4. What kind of a floppy drive should I get?
    5. Are there any changes I should make?
    6. Do you trust http://newegg.com enough to tell me to buy it off of their site?
    7. Do you trust Prescott cores for processors? If you dont, what core do you recommend?
    8. Do you know of a big heatsink that is really quiet?

    (BTW I don't need a hard drive, mouse speakers, keyboard, moniter, etc... This is only for the computer itself.)

    :) :rolleyes: :cool: :p ;)

    I don't know much about Intel procs or DDR2 Ram, although I can say, I trust NewEgg, I've bought my processor and video card there, and I'm satisfied with their service.

    make sure you have a descent PSU ... like Antec PC Power & Cooling ... others on this board have made recommendations .. so do a search ... most questions like this have already beena answered
