I know this computer will be, judging by the specs, good enough;
but as always, there might be problems with drivers/specific chipsets etc

Here´s my planned setup:

Motherboard:
Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe Moderkort Socket A nForce2 Ultra400/MCP-T,GbLAN,Firewire
CPU:
AMD Athlon XP2800+ 2.083 GHz Socket A 333MHz, 512KB Barton
RAM:
DDR-DIMM PC3200 512MB DDR CL2.5 184-P (for DDR-PC400MHz)
GPU:
Gainward GeForce FX5200 128MB DDR AGP, "PRO/660TV-DVI",Tv-Out, Retail
HDD:
Western Digital Caviar 200GB S-ATA 8MB cache 7200RPM

Any red flags on this hardware?
It´ll be used together with a Delta 1010LT card,
and perhaps a PodXT as USB soundcard.

EDIT:
Ive read about the Via chipsets being a problem; should I avoid them?
EDIT2:
After seeing the recommendations for the Asus A7N8X Deluxe,
(I assume this includes A7N8X-E Deluxe)
Ive replaced it in the list.
EDIT3:
Added a harddrive.


Thanks!

Looks OK to me. I use that board and cpu combo with no problems. You may want to consider a second HDD, one for OS and Apps and the other for .wav files.
 
yeah.. I have another 120gig/ata100 which I can put on the other controller.

Nice to hear that it works =)
