budget system

[HVH]

Building a budget system for the inlaws. I'm looking at the Asus A7N266-VMAA motherboard due to built in sound, video, and lan. First of all, any bad experiences with this board? It is a Micro ATX board and goes for $64 free shipping. Also considering Athalon XP1800,$57 retail, 256mb Crucial pc2100 DDR, $44, Foxconn Mid tower 350W, $25 + $15 ship. Lastly W/D 40gb hard drive $63.50. Any thoughts on compatability? I've seen references to the MSI K7N2G-L referb @ $59, but am concerned about missing install CD for setup, and It doesn't list onboard video as a feature. Thanks

is that the nforce amd assured board? if it is i have that board exactly for watching divx on my tv. it works well. my only gripe with it is i was unable to tell it to boot to pci video card first. not a big deal but whenever i had to do something before windows i had to hook a monitor up to it, was just a pain.
