It's time for some upgrades on my comp, and I've been surfing around to find the best of everything that fits my needs. Here's my little list:

Athlon XP 1900+ w/ 256mb PC2100 Crucial DDR RAM on a Soltek SL-75DRV2 mobo... VisionTek XTASY Geforce3 Ti200, Soundblaster Live! MP3+ and a Seagate Barracuda 20gb hd.. All with an Enermax 450w PSU to give everything juice.

Does that look like a good setup? So far as compatibility, speed, and stability is all concerned. Also, would peltier cooling be a good idea for the XP? If so, what's the best way to prevent condensation and is there a good fan I could use to keep the heat off the hot side of the peltier?? I plan on some hardcore overclocking, so I need the best way to keep that thing cool without breaking the bank..

Thanks for all your help guys.. - pyro

Assuming 20Gb is enough for you, it looks good to me.
I don't know the first thing about peltier cooling, but I hear good things about water cooling.

Yes, I agree, with today's huge games and apps, you'll probably fill up 20GB very quickly, I'd spring up for a 40GB 7200RPM Hard drive.

Also, if you haven't bought the mobo yet, I'd seriously consider looking into the IWill XP333. This motherboard is based on the extremely stable and fast ALi Magik1 (revision C). I'm in love with the specs and reviews of this mobo although I haven't tried it myself (I probably will buy one, in a couple of months). Not only is it fast and stable but it also support 333MHz and 400MHz DDR RAM and FSB for the future or if you are considering overclocking.
