I know that the speakers and whatnot aren't really important as to how the computer runs, but just figured I'd post 'em up just in case anyone has anything to say about them. Thanks again!

do you really need a floppy drive?
i'm not sure about the Cooler Master eXtreme Power series PSU? They significantly overrate total power - this one is probably only 500W
I'd look at FSP, Sparkle, xClio, Antec, Corsair....
look for retail DVD burner it will come with software...

he doesn't really need one, but ya never know. Something may come up where he does. Besides, it's only like 7 bucks.

I'll check out another PSU and DVD Drive, but which do you recommend?

thanks

For the PSU, perhaps a Corsair 520 Watt and for the DVD-RW drive I recommend a retail Lite-On unit, because that way it will come with software.
