Follow up on my ~$500 build

[Jerseysbest]

Thanks for the input in my last post (here).

With shipping and (ugh...) tax, this comes out to $558. How do these parts sound:

Intel Pentium 4 630

ASUS Motherboard

Corsair 2 x 516 mb , mother board has two more spot for more later on

120gb hd

Antec Case

As far I as I know, the P4 proccessor matchs the mobo, which also accepts the 184 pin ddr ram (up to 4).

Everything seem kosher? The mobo recommeded in the previous post was out of stock.

One thing I'm a little nervous about: Am I gonna run into a problem connecting my own CD drives, have two of them. They're PATA (or as I know IDI), and the mobo has two connections, and the HD is SATA (four connections) right?

Thanks for any pointers or reasurrance, really looking forward to putting this stuff together and seeing how it runs.

Be aware that the Video slot will only accept a limited number of Video cards(according to the reviews) although the specs say it has a PCI ExpressX16 Expansion Slot as does the Asus site?
Yes, you can connect up to two optical (PATA) devices.
Yes the board had 4 SATA connections.

also you are going to need a PSU... get antec, xclio, thermaltake, enermax, etc... this one is a really good deal, and is enough to power your rig:

you shouldnt have any troubles connecting them... the motherboard has 2 controllers to hook up two opticals and it has 4 sata 1 controllers to hook up your hard drive.
