well only that if you pick a S-ATA HDD (theyre better) that you make sure you have SATA ports on your board.

In times past BenQ's may have been shoddy but the DW 1655 is hands down the best bargain out there. I got mine for $39 and it puts out higher quality burns than my Plextor 708A using the same media and software. There may be burners out there that'll equal it's burn quality but none will beat it for the price :)

it has 4 of the slots rather than 8 of them! The other differences are the Premium is fanless, and the deluxe has a few other small differences. The premium also has a 1x and a 4x PCI express slot rather than two 1xs.

The standard one, that's plenty enough for you. The SE version is cheaper still and still way sufficient, but newegg don't seem to do it!

I bought a basic SB Audigy LE, and that's fine for my needs.
aabbccdd, what's a 7600GTX? Last time I checked you could only have a 7600GT or 7600GS.
That is the monitor theone has and is deeply satisifed with. Unbelievably cheap too!
