I'd go with a beefier power supply / case. Maybe SLK3700AMB. It takes 120mm fans, which can run slower and quieter, and still push more air than an 80mm fan. Too bad you didn't post this last week, Best Buy had a deal on the Antec Sonata case -- I picked one up to hold some parts I ordered today.

No games, so you would be alright with integrated video on the NF7-M or A7N8X-VM. That would save you a few bucks. But the GeForce4 MX stuff really is junk, I'd up your budget to around $100 for the vid card and try to find a GeForce4 Ti 4200 (hint: watch newegg's refurb section).

On Newegg, check out the Speeze Falconrock cooler. Only about $9, but it does a bang up job and is pretty quiet. It should be fine if you don't plan on overclocking. Volcano 9 runs 17-48dB, the Speeze says 26.5dB. I ordered this to go with the AMD 2500+ that I ordered. Or, if you don't plan on overclocking, the retail version of the chip includes a heatsink and fan and should be alright. Only $5 more on newegg for retail vs OEM.

Check the Sunday sales, you can get some decent hard drive deals. I picked up a WD 80GB 7200RM 8MB cache drive from OfficeMax for $40 after rebates. 50 cents/gig is considered a good deal these days.

FWIW, I went with a MSI K2N2 Delta L motherboard. I had pretty much decided on it, but it was nice to see Sharky's recommendations for a value gaming system for $1000. Kinda cemented my decision. They recommend a 19" Samsung CRT, that'd save ya $200 over the LCD I list below.

Guess you'll need to get a really cheap keyboard and mouse If you're sure you won't do any gaming or 3D stuff, look in to a Matrox G450 or G550.
