I'm buying a 17" Dell CRT from my cousin for ~30 bucks
Also, I have an optical drive that I can use, and My cousin has three drives but only two slots so he will let me borrow the other one.

Comments and/or Suggestions?
 
No optical drives?

And why two itty bitty hard drives instead of one bigger one? RAID0 does virtually nothing for gaming, and only a little for load times. Your best bang for the buck in HDs right now is in the 250 to 300 gig range, I'd pick up a single SATA Maxtor with 16mb cache, and then have an open SATA channel in case you want/need more storage later on down the road.

As for an optical drive, I recommend picking up a NEC 3550, or a pair, seeing as they are so cheap (only $40, and the best DVD-recorder on the market IMO).
 
If you plan on gaming, run a wire because wireless was never too good for me when I gamed and most people say you should go 2gb for today's games. You could get by with one though i guess. G.Skill RAM is supposed to be good and its usually less expensive than the XMS stuff.
 
It will be, the router is going in my room, so my computer will be connected by wire (and XBL if i get that) and the computer I'm on will on wireless :)
 
very similar to the one ill be ordering soon (cept asus instead of dfi, and a few other minor things). looks good, best of luck with it.
 
Looks very nice. Just out of curiosity, why are you getting 2 80 gig drives? I mean if one is for storage you could get a much larger drive for not too much more money.
