PC for about $300

Well, my brother asked me to build a computer for him, but the problem was that he is not exactly wealthy and only had $300 to spend. Here is what I bought for him:

Motherboard w/ CPU $74.00
PC CHIPS M811LU KT266A / VT 8235 5xPCI 1xAGP(4x) 2xUSB ATX 266FSB -with cpu - ATHLON XP 2200+,1.8GHZ w/ Heatsink Fan

Memory $50.88
512 MB PC2700 Micron

Hard Drive $67.49
Seagate 80 GB IDE

CD-RW $34.98
Lite-On 52x24x52 IDE

Floppy $12.98
Sony 1.44 internal

Video Card $69.00
PowerColors ATI Radeon 9600SE

Case and Power Supply $17.00
400 W Power Supply and Metal Case

Total $326.33

Obviously I had to cut corners on this. But how do you think I did? Any bad experiences with any of these components? I know the PC Chips Mobo might be a bitch.
