I'm building a new box. What did I order for it and what didn't I order for it?

I did order:

• GIGABYTE GA-M59SLI-S5 Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail
• Thermaltake A2397 2.5" USB2.0 Silver River R2.5 Enclosure - Retail
• AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ Windsor 2.4GHz Socket AM2 Processor Model ADA4600IAA5CU - OEM
• Microsoft Windows XP Pro SP2b 1pk w/Upgrade Coupon for Vista - OEM - Yes, the price is right for this and you need a license for playing games.
• Antec Performance One P180B Black 0.8mm cold rolled steel for durability through the majority of chassis 1.0mm cold rolled steel around the 4 x HDD area ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail
• OKGEAR SATA II cable with metal latch,UV BLUE Model GC18AUBM - Retail 4 of these
• XFX PVT71JYHE9 GeForce 7950GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP ExTreme Edition Video Card - Retail
• SeaSonic M12 SS-700HM ATX12V / EPS12V 700W Power Supply - Retail
• CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-6400 - Retail
• Scythe SCNJ-1100P 120mm CPU Cooling Fan - Retail
• Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound - OEM

Note with NewEgg.com, Retail means it comes with all of the cables, etc. OEM means that it comes bare. And OpenBox means it is a return and may or may not have everything with it. I ordered the CPU to be OEM because I never seem to use the stock fans and everyone raves about Artic Silver versus the stock paste.

I didn't order any drives or a DVD. I've got plenty of drives, including 4 SATA 250G drives sitting idle. I prefer an external USB DVD drive. I also have a spare internal, but it is beige versus the black case.

I ordered the motherboard because it supports plenty of SATA drives. I actually paid more for a graphics card than I ever have in my life, but I spent a bit extra to get fanless. In all cases where I had a question of fit, I either knew from a prior install on a P180 or from review comments that I had room.

Finally, the external USB case is not for this project, it is to house a notebook drive which is 12mm instead of 9.5mm. It is really difficult to find this online as most extrernal enclosures advertise that they will hold any notebook drive (i.e., 2.5"), but what they really mean is any with a width not exceeding 9.5mm.

Anyway, the gear is in transit and I can't wait to start rolling it out. Again, the intent of this project is to give me a quiet desktop, a gaming rig, and a test box for OpenSolaris (builds, NAS, etc).
