CD/DVD? Or are you stealing one from your old system?
That RAM is pretty major stuff. That harddrive isn't too swift(I've had LOADS of problems with Maxtor) If I were you, I'd get another brand harddrive and maybe cheaper RAM. I mean with that RAM, you won't even be able to see the activity lights in the case  As for the power supply, I donno. My system only shows about 150watts with my 6800GT. However, with such a small computer, I'm not sure what you could use to replace it.

A question or two:
1. Whats the role of the machine? Windows MCE and XMS generally dont go hand in hand (that and the videocard)

The role of this computer is mostly gaming but I'll use it for other things like burning stuff and just some other simple stuff like web browsing and listening to music.
EDIT: got a new OS http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16837102151 Well now I just have to make sure it wont overheat and theres enough power supply
