I think that's the way to go, beginning to age but has a good
reputation, should last plenty long for non-gaming. I'm not so sure
about Asus though.
Memory - 2 x 1GB Crucial PC3200
That's a lot of memory, but I suppose you still have one free memory
slot which is probably a good idea.
Hard Drive - Samsung Spinpoint SP2504C SATA
If you want a top-notch PC, you want a 10,000 rpm hard drive. If
necessary, get an ordinary drive for secondary mass storage.
By the way. The USB flash drives are looking very good as
backup/portable storage devices. Backup is very important.
...also anyone know if the above Athlon and/or graphics card will
be excessively hot or noisy?
You might be able to count on NewEgg customer reviews for that
information. I'm not promoting NewEgg, I always go with hardware I
can price at other stores.
The most interesting choice now for me would be monitored type,
whether to go with CRT or LCD. Since you aren't concerned about
gaining, the LCD might be an easy choice assuming you are going for
a new monitor.
Good luck.
