Hi, I'm building a new system and am having some trouble picking out a few parts.

Mobile Athlon XP 2500+, 266 FSB, 512K Cache
ABIT "NF7-S" nForce2 Chipset Motherboard for AMD Socket A CPU
Mushkin 1GB Dual Pack (2x512) PC3200 DDR 222 Special
Thermalright SLK-947U Socket Cooler
(What fan should I use? I plan to overclock but only comfortably, nothing too extreme requiring a vantec tornado)
ANTEC Performance Plus Case with 430W Power Supply, Model "PLUS1080AMG" (I know, ugly case, but it looks to have good airflow and enough fans for an overclocked environment. The case will be tucked under my desk so I'm looking for a purely functional case)
Western Digital Raptor 74GB 10,000RPM SATA Hard Drive, Model WD740GD
ATI RADEON X800 PRO 256MB DDR AGP Graphics Card
Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS PCI Sound Card, Model "SB0350"

90% of my game time is devoted to TFC and CS, so I figured I could live with a few frames less in FarCry/HL2/Doom3. This system should last me for another year and a half, until all the new tech has matured and settled down in price. Thanks for reading my post, and as always, recommendations and constructive criticism is welcomed!
 
1.) The antec sonata is always a great case to look at too.
2.) Save a little money and get the 2400+ mobile.

All in all, that is a GREAT setup!!!

Don't have too much fun! :p
 
Looks great!

like bobsaget said, go with a 2400XP-M, save a little bit of money, and overclock it a little bit!
