That looks good. Only thing to change is the RAM. Your link goes to Corsair DDR2. AMD uses plain ol' DDR. Get 2x1GB of PC3200 DDR Ram.



And I fixed your links.

Don't forget an operating system


It also might be wise to throw a floppy in there; they are cheap and may come in handy - your choice.
