RIght on. Glad to see you're getting a deal on the stuff you want. A couple of points...
First off, I've spent more money than I care to admit with newegg.com. ALWAYS excellent service. Product is at your door in two days or less, I swear. They have pretty much anything you'd want in stock, and for less than most.
Secondly, I'm betting that the CDRW drive you're looking at is a LITE-ON. I got one from them, best drive I've used thus far, and I've had two Plextor CDR/CDRWs and an HP CDRW, not to mention installing a LG (very bad quality, don't
ever buy an LG drive) in my uncles machine. I'm currently waiting for a Sony DRU-500X DVD-r/rw +r/rw drive to come in, i'll give the reviews this next week (I hope).
Before you order, take a look at getting some rounded floppy/IDE cables, they've got a ton of them at reasonable prices.
One last thing; I bought the P4PE along with the same 512MB DDR 2700 RAM you're looking at, and the performance has been great thus far. I've yet to run out of memory doing practically anything, and I've ripped DVDs, burned CDs, encoded MP3/Ogg files & MPEG files with this new machine. No problems with 512MB ram.
Enjoy the new toys!
