I spent an hour or two going through computer hardware, building up a computer to my liking. I'm not all that educated in some of this, however, so I'm going to list what I picked out for those of you who have some advice on my choices and/or a red flag that I didn't spot in the world of compatability.

-Aluminum Heatsink and High Airflow Quiet Fan CPU Computer Cooler Socket 478 Pentium 4
-CoolDrive 4 Hard Drive Cooling Device
-CL-C0001 TrueLight Memory Heat Spreader

Other:

Monitor:
-Going to pick that out later, the price of all this has killed my interest in wanting a monitor, considering I'm fighting between cheap and mouth-wateringly big.
Looked for a 3.0 GHz processor because the motherboard says it can handle it, but the 2.40 GHz was all I could find. The RAM seems to fit, motherboard advertises DIMM, DDR-SDRAM with a maximum of 4 gigs and houses 4 ports for the RAM sticks. I'm iffy about the CD-RW Drive, but it's Sony brand and appears to be pretty fast.
