I have around $100 left (possibly $120) from my birthday. My computer is mostly the way I'd like, but I can always see improvement. What would you guys suggest to upgrade? I have a few ideas.

Faster, quieter SATA hard drive (to save space in a SFF)
Quieter DVD Burner (my current cd burner makes a high pitched whine when spinning that apparently only I hear)
New quieter psu with shorter cables
Sell my stick of Patriot and get 2x1GB of Value RAM

Anything else anybody can suggest?
 
hard question, considering your set up ( if it is the one in your sig)
you might want to use the $ on a good set of headphones for gaming, or games - getting a dual layer 16x dvd recorder is an option.
the ram is a decent option too.
quieter cooling fans?
hard drives are getting some crazy rebates right now - watch them and see if you can bag a bigger dirve.
 
I happened to find a nice rebate on a 160 gig WD HD. I was very please only to pay $60 for it.
 
I already have a set of headphones with a mic, but no mic wants to work on my computer for some reason. I can't figure out if the speakers are giving interference, even when they are off, or if the sound card is messed up. Whenever I say say something, I get a self sustaining repeating echo. I also have 5.1 speakers, so I don't need a high quality set for gaming.

I don't need a bigger hard drive, just something quieter and faster.

The only fan in my case is a quiet Aspire 120mm. I would get an NVSilencer for my video card since one of the fans is rattling, but I would rather not void my warrenty. Think I could send my card and the silencer to BFG and have them install it?
 
Then why spend the money now? Why not save it up and maybe you will find something that you will NEED later on???
