I vaguely recall helping you ... what was the thread?

SANGSUM DVD/CDRW

Grab a LiteOn combo drive, something like this model http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=27-106-932&depa=1 .. they perform exceptionally well

OCZ EL PLATINIUM REV.2 PC 3200 / 2(512)

Might consider dropping this down a bit in order to spend the money elsewhere. Your call

K8N NEO PLATINUM NFORCE3 ULTRA / AMD 939

I assume you mean this one: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-130-468&depa=1 (because you left out the "2")

XFX NVIDIA GFORCE 6600GT 128MB 128BIT

Make absolutely sure you are getting a AGP card because that mobo doesnt have PCIx16 (like this one: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=14-150-080&depa=1) ... theres also this card for slightly more http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-170-056&depa=1 .... ive not been able to render an opinion between the two yet but gimme a few days/weeks

BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS OF THAT BAREBONES SYSTEM. The mobo/cpu theyve got spec'd is inconsistent with real specs.

yah just read that someone got that and they sent him a 250watter stead of the said 350. he contacted them and they said take it up with soyo (people who they get it from i guess). that kinda sux.

 

[Praetor]

Well that too and the fact that they are claming that the A8V Deluxe uses the K8T800 chipset running a 1600MHz HTT but it really uses the K8T800Pro and has a 2000MHZ HTT. That and the fact that they state 754/939 too many times.
