Slim Computer

[atentora]

I've been asked to build a computer in a slim case that is for general use (internet, word processing, ect.)

I was given these specs:

• 1 gig Ram
• CD/DVD burner
• at least 120gb HDD
• Slim case
• Core 2 Duo

What I came up with:

Case
1 gig DDR2 Ram
Mobo
Core 2 Duo
160gb HDD
DVD/CD combo drive

Cost: $300.94 ($337.21 w/shipping)
Any suggestions? Change anything? I haven't worked with slim cases of micro ATX boards too much either. Any input will be appreciated.

EDIT: Updated RAM

Even though it's for general computing I would recomend using a pair of 512 sticks. By doing so you can run the memory in Dual Channel mode that will enable to computer to write the memory quicker and start programs quicker.

The 5 dollar difference in price is worth the signifficant performance increase you will see.

You could get one of those Dell Inspiron Desktops.
