    Personally I would not buy from Newegg. There's a REASON why their return service is so well-regarded. Odds are reasonable you will need it.

    The parts look good although I'd get a Seagate for the same price. I'd also look at a higher-capacity drive - 160 Gb isn't as much as you think... For $15-20 more you can get a faster, larger drive.

    I would differ on the newegg comment. I have used them for years and I have never had to return 1 product. They tend to have the best prices, great service, and stuff even ships early quite frequently.

    as far as the parts the hard drive price is terrible. If your not gonna get at least 3 gigs per dollar I wouldnt consider it. for example...

    spend the 5 bucks take the extra 90 gigs. But there are ALWAYS tons of great hard drive deals, and 160 gig drives can often be found for $40.

    i didnt even pay attention to that, it should make a small difference mainly in transfer times.
