Fine - Pleased with mine.

Processor: AMD Athlon XP2800+ 333 Mhz FSB

Probably ok. If you're thinking of overclocking you might be better off
with a 2500+ as the default (and locked) multiplier is 11... taking FSB to
200MHz gets you a 3200+.

CPU fan - Coolmaster Aero 7 lite upto XP3200 CPU cooler
Fine.

Memory - Crucial 512 DDR400/PC 3200 CL3

I would recommend CL2 if you can... I've heard of problems with CL3 and
nForce.

Hard Drive - Seagate ST3120026AS 120GB 7200RPM SATA

Dunno... should be fine.

Graphics - Sapphire radeon 9200SE 128MB

The SE is about half of the speed of a normal 9200 non-pro. I would not
recommend an SE card.

DVD -rom - Samsung 16x48 IDE

CD-R-W - Liteon 52x32x52 IDE

Both Fine.

PSU - Qtec 550watt twin fan

Works for me.

Case - Chieftec DX01 dragon

Dunno. Biggest deal is probably the ability to mount a fan at the bottom
front of the case and be able to get sensible airflow through it. Nice
places to mount rear fans, 120mm ones is ideal as you can get airflow
without the noise.

A 9200 isn´t at all a " gamers " card and doesn´t support nice looking DX9
feartures..expect 3000 3D2003 marks
