Another new PC thread

Why not, since my laptop is now a craptop, and its gonna be down awhile, I've got an itch to build a new desktop. Lookin around $1500 or so to build one. Only a few things i'm kinda bias to, i'd like to get a intel duo chip. Not too worried about a fancy smancy case, cause you cant' see it inside my desk. Heres a few initial ideas i had:

Processor:

Case:

DVD:
Insert whatever here, need something, just not the most expensive thing on the market, like to get something around the 60 to 70 range if possible.

Monitor:
Not real sure here either, want a LCD, something around 22", but i'd like to stay under 300 here.

The wife gave me a Purchase Order authorization for one of these. It was cheaper than the '99 NightTrain Harley I wanted.

If your staying under $300 for a monitor than your not looking at 22 inches, atleast not a good one.

Other than the monitor, just checkin to make sure everything looks ok here and i'm ordering....one of you guru's give me a thumbs up :p

The motherboard you listed is for AMD processors only.

Personally, I'd go with a Western Digital hard drive with 16MB of cache
