get a 200G Western Digital Serial ATA drive.
Get an Adapter Dual Connect 3 USB 2.0 ports and 2 FireWire Ports I have it it's great.
Other then that make sure you get a good motherboard mabe one with more slots to fill for RAM for upgrade purposes but it should have 4 some have more slots i think not sure. Your right don't get a Floppy but Formating a PC just using a WinXP CD won't delete all files from what i heard so u might think about using a bootdisk when u format mabe u can use a older floppy from a older computer when u need to format. DVD-R I suggest LG DVD -R because it supports all FORMATS and its fast aswell but it supports all formats other DVD-R don't from what i hear. Also You might wanna think about getting a AMD 64 Chip you will be forced to upgrade to 64 in couple years to take advantage of 64bit applications this way you can run 32bit and 64 the new AMD 64 Athlon 3800 is a great choice, it's either 3800 or 3400. It's performes aswell as Intel sometimes better in certain aspects. But yeah other then that Get a good motherboard I hear Asus makes good boards but id read up ask around on Toms Hardware Forums etc.... Hope this helps. Also if your getting a new Case I suggest Lian Li PC70 you can google it up and see a review its an amazing case I think apple based its G5 case design on that case, this case was like 4 years released prior to G5 release. I have this case and it rocks good on heat and dust control.
