Building your own computer? You are a genius..

However, are you sure this is a good idea? I mean.. To spent 900 bucks on an experimental computer is a little expensive, unless the specs are top-notch. I suggest that you make the OS as XP, since Vista is still more or less beta and is less stable. Also, many softwares are not compatible with Vista just yet.

For your dvd burner, lightscribe is not necessary as the fact that the more features it has, the shorter the lifespan of the firmware will be. On the contrary, as long as it is not an internal drive, this shouldn't matter. Or perhaps, it is a better idea to get a good internal drive without the lightscribe function and then add an external one with it. That's to be on the safe side, but the expenses might slightly increase. Perhaps, you should check out the used computer bargain shop and check stuff out, grab some spare parts just in case.

The memory looks awesome, 2x2Gb? That would definitely be great.
