Making a new build and any suggestions would be welcome...
Now the there are a few thing that I am sure of and will not change my mind over, it will have:
Asus Mobo
Intel P4
Coolermaster Case
(2) 500GB Sata II 3GBs (will make total of 4 later)
2GB of ram DDR2 800 (will make total of 4 later)
Prices might be a little lower by this time, it was in the planning about about a month ago, but I need to get this thing done within a month maybe at the latest a month and a half.

COOLING????
Water cooling, but I will be using one for the cpu and one for the vga chip. Preferbally 2 of the same brand and type of cooler would be nice. Reason being is that I want to sit 2 of these (all in one coolers) units side by side facing towards the left panel of the PC. I will have probally have to change the fan airflow direction, most of them blow in thru the back and out thru the front. I want to mount them so the air will flow out of the back of the unit, which will end up being out the right side of the machine.
Of course there is always an exception and that one is the big long one that sits on top.
Was thinking of one of these solutions and really need help choosing:
