    Looks good overall except for 2 things:

    There's no such thing as a 2.43 ghz P4 cpu.

    And hopefully it doesn't come with propeitary parts and stuff or a crappy power supply so it hampers your trying to overclock it. The motherboard will allow it though but it depends on the power supply a bit as to how much it can take.

    that P4 2.43 GHz had me scratching my head there. anyway, all looks good. the DVD ROM idea is a good one though.
    Never argue with idiots. They bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
    The biggest source of computer problems is computer solutions.

    Thanks. Some corrections...

    Indus, you said:

    >There's no such thing as a 2.43 ghz P4 cpu.

    I didn't catch that. It's a 2.4B CPU

    >And hopefully it doesn't come with propeitary parts and stuff or a crappy power supply so it hampers your trying to overclock it.

    Yep, it comes with a brand x 300W, but that's going in the can and a 400W is going in.

    Redviper22 and cmdrvenom, you said (basically):

    >scrap the cd-rom and get a dvd-rom instead. newegg has a liteon for 42 shipped.

    My mistake again. I've got a 16X CD/DVD that I'm reusing. This was just to replace the 40X CD I've got now.

    Liaon, you said:

    >P4B533 SUCKS! P4S533 its so much better. Get Asus P4S533 please...
    >and... Get an 2.26GHZ 533 Pentium IV ...

    OK, this I need to understand. Why the 2.26 rather than a 2.4B? And what's better about the P4S than the P4B? Not arguing, just trying to learn here... Thanks again...
