help building a linux sys plz!

[winblowz]

I'm gonna rid of my case and mobo to start a "new" system.

I need a linux compatible barebone system. Along with it I will have...

-512 mb ddr king hyper x ram
-120 gig seaate sata barracuda (for winblowz)
-160 gig Western Digital hdd for knoppix or gentoo or redhat or debian(i dunno) cant make up mind.
-
-lite on cd burner
- sony 1.4 floppy
- more stuff

i'mlooking for a fancy case, not full tower, mid tower atx, i like fancy lcd display **** and stuff like that

Im looking preferably for an AMD athlon sys, no intel(maybe) but if amd no 64 bit, too much $. ty
thanks everybody for your help!

you could purchase one of amd's 64 bit chips and novell has a 64-bit version of suse linux that will be aval may 8th. (its no longer free) knoppix is a live-cd; like most of them you can run a script from the disc and install it to your hd. unless your in love w/knoppix for some reason, take a look at mandrake, suse or redhat enterprise. you can purchase all of these in boxes and more importantly- recieve plenty of live support in case you have problems.
