Just a couple more thoughts.
While most of the items you have in your configuration are showing up, the
configurator is not giving me the option for a DDR3 RAM-based motherboard.
Instead of the ASUS P5QE, it is offering the P5Q Pro model which uses DDR2
memory. The P5Q Pro is a highly regarded board, but not as feature rich (or
as expensive) as the one you chose. I'm not sure what to make of the fact
that there are no DDR3 boards available on this page.
The case is black, so be sure to choose the black bezel for the floppy drive
you're looking to order.
Opt for the 22 inch monitor. It's only an extra $12 over the "Special" one
you had chosen, but it'll give you a lot more screen real estate for your
money.
You didn't choose a keyboard. Does that mean you'll just use the one you
already have? You did choose a mouse, so I'm just confirming your choices
here.
You will have no need to buy a NIC for this system. It has built in
ethernet. Put $12 of the bucks I just saved you towards that better
monitor. The rest could be used for a new keyboard and ethernet cable, if
needed.
$1,589.00 is what it came to when I was finished trying to mirror your
original choices and then adding a few modifications (like the larger
monitor, black floppy drive bezel, different CPU cooling system, etc.)
Peace,
Gman
