my current "calclulator" is 1 year old, (see sig). i recently ordered up a new nf3 250gb board from dfi. i also happen to get a new vid card a few months ago. well, i was gonna do a quick change'a'roo for the mobos, but realized i would end up with a good board, and vid card just lying around. after a little bit of thinking, i decided i might as well use what i got and build me a new system. ((TEAM 32 FOLDER *IFFYGOBOOM*)). for the past few weeks ive been doing some indepth research and came up with a parts list.

COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW Black Aluminum/Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case X1
LITE-ON SOHW-1673S Black IDE DVD Burner X1
THERMALTAKE SMART CASE FAN II SMART FAN II FSC 80mm 2 Ball Cooling Fan X4

SOME POINTS TO READ PLZ!!
1..psu, memory, vid card, hd, from old rig will go into the new one.
2..kingwin watercooler will be modified to my liking for better performance.
3..centurion 5 case will be used due to it having 5 5.25" bays. i need them for my cooling kit mods to work.
4..will use windows 2000pro since from what i understand, u dont have to call MS to register it. ((waited 40mins last time i called to register xp :bang head ))
5..yup, theres no processor. im waiting on the newark, and want to be ready when it arrives.

input welcome and appreciated. after all, if i wouldnt have stumbled across this board, i would never have built my own computer last year. i would have ended up with an emachines from costco for 800.00. thnx.... o yeah, almost forgot, ive got a budget.. :p so far, with s/h and tax, im looking at 800.00 w/o cpu. dont wanna break the bank here guys, just make another folding box/game box/watever else i need it for box.
