The only potential problem I see is with the IDE drives and using a SATA converter. There is a Jmicron36x ATA (IDE) option in MultiBeast (never installed it before). You can get a Samsung 320GB SATA hard drive for about $42 bucks off newegg, and a Sony DVD-RW SATA drive for about $20.

I agree with Dr. Who. I would spend another $30 to get 4GB of RAM instead of 2GB as well.
