I'm planning on bulding on my computers and I want some of your opinions on what brand you like most but not to expensive.

DVD Drive
Floppy Drive
CD-RW Drive
Hard Drive
Video Card
RAM
Zip Drive
Cooling Fan
Power Supply

I found the case, motherboard, network card, and processor. I think these are the only parts that go in the machine, and If I'm missing one please tell me.

DVD Drive- idk
Floppy Drive- doesn't matter
CD-RW Drive- Plextor, Hewlett Packard
Hard Drive- Western Digital, Seagate, IBM, Maxtor, Quantum
Video Card- ATI, Visiontek
RAM- Kingston, PNY
Zip Drive- Iomega
Cooling Fan- whatever works
Power Supply- Enermax

I think you forgot the sound card, unless its on the motherboard, I would suggest Hercules and Creative.
