[QUOTE="davej00, post: 92747, member: 19156"] What you are proposing looks OK. In fact the case looks very nice ;) I have the MSI K8NGM2-FID which is an AMD based mobo -- I use the onboard video which supports hardware MPEG decode so puts a low load on the CPU. I would have no hestitation in recommending it. If you do go for a mobo with onboard graphics I would be tempted to up your memory to 1G as the memory is shared with the graphics engine. I'm not sure how quiet the Western Digital drives are -- I use the Sammy Spinpoint [see my sig] and they are very quiet and do not generate much heat. Have fun ! - Dave [/QUOTE]
