I'd be happy to buy all that, I'm sure enough it all works. However, I'd go for an IBM
DeskStar 75 drive (faster) or the lesse ATA-100 deskstar (they're still faster, but
also cheaper here).
I use a Yamaha CD recorder here; works well.
Oh, one item I'm not sure about; DVD.
btw Don't overlook the Duron; it's cheaper and for many things little slower than the
Athlon. I saw a review of a Duron 750 yesterday; it overclocked more than an Athlon
and ended up being faster.
The webmaster emailed me to tell me the review is here (I found a broken link on the
website before I found one that worked)
