Hi Everybody!

I have an empty case about 11 years old, but never used. It is a 3/4
height (16 1/2" high) ATX with 250 watt Power and an extra fan.

It has four 5 1/4 external bays, two external 3 1/2 bays and an internal
3 1/2 bay.

I intend to use the box with two monitors for database application
development in Python using the Dabo framework.

I guess I will try Debian, if I can't get Debian to work then Ubuntu. I
can't hack Gentoo and Mepis is too diverse to get everything on the same
page.

What is the good deal right now on motherboards, video cards, memory,
CPUs and the like?
