Codeine, I do not recommend that processor. I suggest an Intel Pentium 4 530 which is on LGA775 and runs at 3.0 GHz. He said he would like to keep it upgradable and all future Pentium/4 processors will be on LGA775. There is no point in purchasing a dead platform; that is like saying you should take AGP over PCIe. Secondly, get an Abit AG8 motherboard which takes DDR memory (not DDR2) and it will decrease install times since the 915P chipset is faster than any 8xx chipset. Other than that, what Codeine suggested will work. Oh, and get yourself some Arctic Silver cause if you don't, then that heatsink will be screaming so loud because of the tight space in that case.
