Just thought I'd share my new build. Ordered the parts yesterday and everything should be here on Thursday. So excited. I'm going to be turning my current PC (4 year old Dell 2.6GHz 512MB 120GB) into an internal Linux server for apache, domain controller, network file server and more. Let me know what you think.

Here's the list:
--

COOLER MASTER Centurion 5
-

Core 2 Duo E6600
-
Motherboard:
Asus P5W DH Deluxe
-
Memory:
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2
-
Hard Drive:
Western Digital Caviar SE WD1600JS 160GB
-

ATI Radeon X1800XT 512MB
-
Power Supply:
Antec TRUEPOWERII TPII-550 ATX12V 550W
-
CPU Cooler:
ZALMAN CNPS7700-CU

Misc:

Floppy (you never know, there's a slot so might as well)
4 Port KVM Switch
2GB USB Flash Drive
Matrix MX-610 LCD
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
 
Give us a Link to the Burners, and To the LCD.
Always room for improvment.
How many Fans does that case include and are you planning to buy more?

The case includes a front (80mm) and rear (120mm) fans, also has a side air duct. I'll see if more is needed after I get it setup and running for a while.

DVD-ROM:

Matrix Orbital LCD (This isn't a monitor, I already have a 17" FP for now):

I haven't ordered the LCD yet. I'm debating between the 610 and 630.
 
Im not sure if Newegg sells optorite But they are rebagded Plextors and Plextors own. So if you wanted to do some searching you could get a great Burner. Not that Im slamming NEC or Sony (Cause I have Both).
And as for the fan situation. Yea if it has more slots theres no reason not to fill them even if it is with low noise ones.
