New Build - how does it look?

[JediK]

I'm thinking about building a new machine and running Ubuntu 8.04 64bit. I'm not looking to break the bank, so top of the line isn't needed. What do you guys think?

I recommend spending the extra $5 for the extra two SATA ports and PCI-E 2.0 support which might be useful in the future:
Gigabyte GA-EP43-DS3L Intel P43 Motherboard - $90

But other than that, looks good to me.
