I have a DVD burner, so I'd almost certainly put that in instead of the CD-burner/DVD player combo drive. I'd also put in the 56x CD player that I have. Of course, haven't heard anything about the Maxtor yet, so not sure about the hard drive (if I chose not to get it, I'd end up moving the Seagate over to the new system). I have 640 MB memory on my current system (not sure if compatable with the memory of this system, but I know how to move that over). My graphics card is 32 MB in the old system, so it would be better to leave the one in the newer system alone.
Overclocking does not sound like a good thing to do, especially if you have a good chance of frying your computer. I guess it delays having to buy a new board every six months when it gets obsolete.
Does the above sound like a good system for $450.00 (well, $200.00, but I have to wait on the $250.00 rebate)?
