Hey guys, its me back
I've ordered the thing already, and here's what I'm gonna have lying on my floor about mid next week:
Mobo: ASUS P5ND2 SLI Deluxe
CPU: INTEL P4 820
CPU cooler: Zalman CNPS7700-Cu (full copper)
RAM: KINGSTON DDR2 533MHz 2x512Mb
HDD: WF2500JS (they didn't have the 16Mb cache version in stock)
GPU: ASUS EN6800GT/2TD
Audio: CREATIVE SB X-Fi XtremeMusic
OD: LG GSA-4167-B (supposedly a great drive, and quite an opposite of being expensive
)
FDD: Sony Black
Speakers: CREATIVE T6060
Chassis: INTER-TECH IT-CF-07 (I haven't found any trace of this manufacturer's website (strange). Here's some info though:

Exh. fan: GLACIALTECH SilentBlade GT8025EBDL-1 (80cm, 19dBA)
Printer: MINOLTA PP1300W
SP: APC P5B-GR
So basically what changed is:
1. Since they didn't have BenQ, and I wasn't really sure about the Asus, I asked them what could they recommend and they said that of what they have tested themselves, the LG drive was by far the best one. And since it was a bit cheaper than the Asus, I went with LG.
2. Case & PSU: They didn't have any Antec cases, but introduced me to the brand named 'Inter-Tech', which they said was the best value for the money. I picked the only model that had dust filter in it. Furthermore, it comes with a silent (will see how much of a truth is that) 420W PSU, and all this for a mere ~$65 (vs. CoolerMaster case & Antec PSU combo @ ~$260).
3. Since I saved on the case and PSU, I got a big nice all-copper Zalman CPU cooler, just to be on a safe side with that P4 820
BTW, I already have the cooler, its a nice decoration now until the other components arrive
That's it. I want to thank you guys once more for your suggestions. I will make one more post here when I assemble this beast, with comments on how the process went through and how do I like the system. C ya then
