Opinions please...about me new computer...
I'm putting together a new computer for myself and selling off my old (I already have a buyer). I'd just just like some opinions on the specs ... should I get something else ... does it all look good ...? And remember...your opinion matters!
The done deal components (stuff I've already bought):
PIII 750 that I'll o/c to at least 1 GHz.
Step Thermodynamics KODIAK 7000 heatsink/fan combo.
2 x 256 MB PC133 SDRAM from Crucial...7E, CAS2 part.
Step Thermodynamics Titanium power supply, 605 W dual fan (intake inside case, exhaust to spit the air out).
Addtronics 6898A case (I'm buying a new case for the computer I'm selling, this case is too nice and too modded out to sell).
60 GB IBM 60GXP
Asus CUSL2-C Black Pearl Spectial Edition.
Plextor 8/4/32. I'll get something better later.
MS Natural Elite keyboard.
What can be changed...
Hercules Prophet 4500 64 MB...Kyro II video. I'd like to keep an M card inside, but... Unless the rumored G550 is released very, very soon, what else could I get that's not going to cost a fortune and is not nVidia or ATi?
Sound Blaster Live!, the original full retail version. It's worked like a charm for 3 years, unless some cool new innovations comes out, it's staying. There are a lot of threads going about sound cards, but I'm staying unless someone can convince me otherwise.
3COM 3CR990-TX-97. I've really been itching to try out one of the 3XP NIC's. I hear they are truely amazing! Anyone ever used one before? If I can't get one I'll go with a 3COM 3C905C-TX.
Toshiba 16/40 DVD-ROM. Good drive for a good price. I don't think my wholeseller sells the Pioneer model, so I'll stay with Toshiba unless someone knows of something better.
Cornerstone p1460 monitor...it just looks too pretty to pass up. That and several MURC'ers have given these guys top-notch reviews.
Logitech iFeel Mouseman. It's big, it rumbles and it has second gen optical technology. I may drop the iFeel, but that just seems like a fun technology to play with.
40 GB IBM 60 GXP...yes this means I will have 100 GB of storage in my computer. I'm a freak, what else can I say?
That just about covers it. What do you think?

Athlon 650
256 MB PC133 CAS3 from Crucial
87 GB storage from WD & IBM
Matrox G400 (it's not dead yet!)
SB Live! the original full retail, still going strong
Klipsch ProMedia v.2-400, the PC speakers that goes BOOM!
