Looks fine to me. This will be perfectly fine for most people, IMO.
Looks like you moved away from the SLI option in the future, right?
I assume you're going to do a "neat build" since you got that window in
the case, right? :)
Did you quick for quiet components in terms of HD and PS? Won't hurt to
have quiet if you it doesn't cost you more.
http://www.silentpcreview.com/article692-page5.html <-- PS seems good.
http://www.silentpcreview.com/article29-page2.html <-- WD SE 16 might be
better, who knows for sure.
http://www.silentpcreview.com/article75-page4.html <-- maybe there is an
equivalent priced quiet case here...
Obviously, this quiet stuff {may / may no be} important to your friend
(or you).

Here is what we are looking at thus far and we are still just under
budget which is nice. Everything from newegg so far except for the
case which we like is from tiger. If they had the same one at newegg
we would get it from there. Do you think the power supply is enough?
Should I do anything with the ram I selected? Anything stand out to
you folks that I may need to re-look at.

I have been looking for a hard drive, sata, in the 250-320 gb range.
Looking at the following two that were rated customer choice awards:
Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA
3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16822144701
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS (Perpendicular Recording

http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16822148140
Despite obtaining a customer choice award some of these drives have
some bad user feedback that worries me.
We dont need to go raptor here, more space is worth more than speed
for this build. Should I stay away from these drives? Probably, what
might you folks suggest?

Thane,
Was not aware of asking tricky questions! Perhaps, I just find myself in
"tricky" situations!
(seems like it lately!!!)
In any case, in 2008, I'll try to be less "tricky"........ :)
Remove the card? The AP is on a separate plug-in card? That would do it 4Sure!
Will keep doing research. Looking for future spares......which will be
whole upgrades, now!
Thanks.
Best,
Duncan

Of course you always ask tricky questions. :) According to the manual,
you can, although I haven't tested it. I *think* you might be able to
remove the card itself. You could, at the verty least, disconnect the
antenna, which should make the wireless unusable.

Thane,
Can the WIFI-AP be disabled in bios? I like the rest of the feature-set,
but do not wish to have a wifi rcvr just to use the m/b. I've used asus
m/b's since 1999 and like the quality, features and reliability.
Best,

I've used this motherboard a couple of times, and I like it. Seems
reliable.
