Hey, that looks like a jam system to me...lol!

The 80mm fan is probably unnecessary. Between the 120mm fan on the PSU & the 120mm fan in the rear of the case, you'll have all the cooling you need.

I got my 120mm fan (& round IDE/floppy cables) from SVC.com. The fan I got uses a ceramic bearing & at just 19dBA, it's almost silent.

You could have gotten a bigger HDD too, possibly one with 16MB cache?

Other than those minor critiques, I think you put together a decent system :-)

The bigger/faster hdd will come eventually. I just wanted to get something together to mess around with. I also need to get a dvd/rw and floppy (just in case) at some point.
I may also need a new northbridge coolling set-up. I have read that they get loud and break. I want to get the gfx card in to see how much room I have first.
I do need to get round cable for the cd drive. Next week when I get my card and memory.

Word of advice: be sure to benchtest the board BEFORE you install it in the case.
