Just a quick glance that the system, i'd reccomend
- either get the "option" for two chassis fans or get some on the side.
- Upgrade to the Corsair XMS Pro ... its only 45 more bucks and a hell of a set of ram
- make the jump to the Western Digital 8MB drive -- BIG BIG BIG BIG diference... and for $10 -- HELL YA
- I dont like the "dual format 12x" designation on the burner -- they arent being specific -- for a reason. Id take the A07 -- but that's me.
- Good call on the sound option -- the nForce2 has superb sound capacity
- Speakers I would think (s)he could get a better deal separately but that's up to them
- Fax/Modem?? If not needed -- dont pay the extra $6.
- Unless (s)he anticipated updating the BIOS a lot (and I dont think theres been a neewer update since 1006 which is the same board i have) then there isnt a need for the floppy.
- Shop around for a monitor independently first -- one can usualyl get a better deal (viewsonic is a great compnay btw)


DOnt have a lot of time right now (seriously getting pissed at soundcard) but I'd look into the option of
- selfbuilding a computer
- getting a more functional case -- those dinky "kewl" cases have no room for circulation nor room for expansion -- also have a look into the PSU if that's a concern
- definitely want to look into cooling options for that chip either the Thermaltake K7 Silentboost for quiet or the Thermaltake Volcano12 for pure power .... well worth the $50 investment

In either case suggest him/her to drop by PC Hardware and make a post ... i will certainly put some more thought into it then when its more "concrete" ... gotta jet -- got a soundcard to toast (ugh... stupid Audigy -- gotta drop down to a Live now cuz the Audigy keeps CRAPPING out whenever i play videogames)
