Save the money from the Super Drive floppy and ad an additional 128MB of RAM. I made the mistake of getting a zip a year ago. I've NEVER used it for any good reason. I always back up with my cdrw. Also, IBM makes a 45GB udma100 hard drive for around 145!!! I like the Abit kt7a raid. If you ever have extra cash you can get another 45 and have 90! I have two 30s. Crucial makes good cheap RAM. Everything else looks fine.
