Looks like a pretty decent setup. Mine is very similar. I've got a silver Chieftec case with blue cold cathode, Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard (nForce 2), Athlon XP 2600+, etc.

The only thing I see is that you bought a single stick of PC2700 RAM. I'm not sure about the motherboard you bought, but my nForce 2 board supports dual channel DDR. If you use two sticks, you get a performance increase.

I went with the Corsair XMS low latency PC 2700 RAM for mine. I bought a 2x256 twin pack. I'm a little skittish about Kingston RAM. Bottom line with RAM is it either works great, or causes all sorts of random problems that are hard to track down.

By the way, Newegg is the best online retailer I've dealt with. I've placed several orders with them and haven't had a single problem. I'd recommend them to my grandmother.

One question, will this ( NewEgg.com Black Tee Shirt - Size: Extra Large) fit in the case?

lol, that's a real t shirt that you can wear.

newegg gives you free stuff when you buy some items.
