as you can see I am Salavaging a few parts out of the old computer, and will eventually replace them, but for now all effort goes into project BEAST. PLEASE send feedback Especially you Bone, I want this to be the bestest of the Bestest of the BESTEST, I wanna make Game Gen PROUD!!!

Looks fine to me man :)
I would get Artic Silver 2 thermal compound instead... same price, better performance.
I like those special edition harddrives, but why not get one that is ATA133 since your mobo will support it?
You could also get PC3200 DDR RAM if U want the 'bestest of the bestest'.

Cant find anything other than nitpicking wrong with it (except the pentium 4 bit...lol)
