For Enginurd's and lazy people's sake, could you please list out all the prices and the total costs of the PC?

You're going to need an OS, I don't get why every build pretty much leaves this out (everyone is a pirate or has a retail license?).

Wouldn't trust that power supply. Fsp makes great inexpensive units.

For $8 more you can get a 160gb hard drive which is double what you got now.

QFT. Please list all your parts so we don't have to click on half a dozen links. Thanks.

Some people need a new OS license, and others don't. Many Linux distros are free. Many schools have free Windows licenses for their students. Some people have retail Windows licenses. What's so hard to understand? If you they don't list it, and you think they need it, ask them.

Some FSP units I wouldn't trust, either... especially any Epsilon based units, nor their budget AX* line.

Since you mention a HDD... Frys.com has the Seagate 320GB for $65, btw.
