The Ultimate Linux Box... (fwd)

[Steven Pritchard <steve@silug.org>]

I'm reposting this for anyone who didn't see it the first time.  I'm
interested to hear everyone's experiences with the video, motherboard,
etc.  This looks like a good mix to me, but I'm open to suggestion.

I really like that case though.  Nobody is talking me out of it.  ;-)

Oh, and it's been a couple of weeks or so since I originally did the
math on this, which means it's likely to be a bit less expensive by
now.

Last thing...  I forgot to mention that this would include a Logitech
wireless keyboard/mouse combo.

...on a budget.

How's this sound for a nice workstation?

Chenbro SR103 case (http://www.chenbro.com.tw/product/product.jsp?p=2&s=203)
550W Power supply
MSI K7D Master dual Athlon motherboard
(2) AMD Athlon MP 2200+
1GB ECC Registered PC266 DDR RAM (2 x 512MB)
All-in-Wonder Radeon 8500DV 64MB
(2) 120GB ATA/100 7200RPM hard drive
(2) IDE Mobile Rack
3ware 7000-2 2-port ATA/133 IDE RAID Controller
16x DVD
48x12x48 CD-RW
3.5" Floppy drive
Sound Blaster Live! 5.1
RTL8139C network card

Oh, and lots and lots of fans, plus round cables for all the drives.

The whole thing is $2800(*), with Linux pre-installed.

These are more-or-less the specs I would be using if I were building
my next box today.  (I say "more-or-less" only because I already have
the DVD drive and a 40x burner, for example.  I have no reason to
replace those.  :-)

* Prices subject to change without notice.  Exact specifications may
  vary depending on availability.  Blah, blah, blah.
