Nice looking build.

For optical drives I'd get a pair of NEC 3550s, it is nice to be able to burn two discs at once, and the price premium over a 2nd DVD-RW over a DVD-RW and a DVD-ROM is only like $20. You have to have two to burn disc to disc on CDs, which, lets face it, who doesn't do it?

Nice choices otherwise. I personally prefer Maxtor and WD drives to Seagate, but Seagate drives are known to have good reliability and run a bit quieter and cooler, so, if those are big concerns with you, go for it.

Nice price/performance all purpose system you have put together there.

Very nice post, Harddrive I just quickly picked that one, if someone can choose a better one. Also where can i get windows XP for a good price?

As far as cooling goes, get a scythe ninja plus fans, xp/si120 plus a fan, xp90 plus a fan, or zalman cnps9500, or the thermaltake big typhoon.

Honestly, get your budget up to a 20" model. The Dell 2001fp is worth every penny over the cost of 19" LCDs, if only for the desktop res. Once you go 1600x1200 or greater, you will never, ever, go back.

hopefully not missing anything.. Fans cooling etc.

For a budget system on that low a budget, you don't have much room for enthusiast fans or cooling. Tell your friend to buy the hardware that matters first, and he can upgrade to a better HSF and cooling for the case when he has money down the road.

making sure got everything Not missing anything to delay the build.
