New System Configuration

[camcglennon]

I am planning on building a new system, and I was wondering what your opinions and experiences were on a system with this type of setup. Any problems? Pointers? Conflicts? I am a college student with a limited budget, so I am going with a cheap nForce chipset for now. Here is a rundown:

Antec SX1030B Black Case (w/ 300 Watt Power Supply)
ASUS A7N266-E nForce 420D Chipset (int. LAN / Audio / Video)
AMD Athlon XP 2000+ plus fans
WD 7200 40GB IDE Hard Drive (already have)
Windows XP Professional
HP IDE CD Writer (I forgot the model / already have)
VisionTek GeForce 4 Ti 4200

Let me know what your opinions/recommendations are. My email address is: camcglennon@mail.utexas.edu, if you wanna drop me a line that way. Thanks!

I'd go with the identicle Chieftec case and an Enermax power supply. Check out the selection of Chieftec cases at Newegg.com, you can pick colors and clear or solid side panels, even with a color case, clear side panel, and Enermax 300W power supply, it would be cheaper than the Antec. Oh, and Enermax makes a much better power supply than Antec.
