You really ought to get him a 90nm Winchester CPU:

And then a good HSF. Other than that, looks good.

EDIT: I see you have 2 DVD drives. One is sufficent, unless you are looking to do mass copying.

He and I figured since he wasn't going to be overclocking, why get a winnie and a seperate heatsink for no performance increase. Also the two dvd drives are so he can copy dvds without burning them to the hdd first.

Get rid of the thermaltake case, get a Lian Li, Praetorian, or a Antec.

unless it's an old dvd thats less than 4.7GB, he will be making an image first to shrink it
very, very few newer dvd films are less than 4.7GB

Winchester's are actaully a bit faster and also run a bit cooler than its 130 nanometer version
