I am definitely not going to get the 10k rpm HDD.
In a college dorm, I am also going to consider some sound dampening material. Would a heatsink on the video card instead of a fan reduce the sound considerably?

Now, I know there is some foam that you can cut and place on the inside of the case and decrease the sound. I really do not want a loud machine that will be noticeable. Sound is a big issue.

As of now, I will probably get the P4 3.2GHz w/ HT because the 3.4 is about $200 more for only 200MHz.
