Building a Mini-PC whatcha think?

I recently finish my main system and am planning on starting on my next project: A LAN BOX. Well here are the parts I'm looking at any advice will be appreciated.

-Soltek Mini-PC EQ3701M Retail (Heres a pic)

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...ion=56-150-005

-Lite-On Black 48x24x48x16 DVD/CDRW combo drive

-GEIL 2x256 MB PC3200 DDR w/copper Heat Spreader

-Barton 2600+ (I didn't know these existed!!)

-ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 128MB

I currently have a 9500 Pro that I planned to put in there (It will be just laying around doing nothing when the 9800XT comes out) but I'm worried that it might put a little too much stress on the ACHME PSU (same psu used in the Shuttle XPC's) If you guys think the PSU can handle the 9500 Pro, let me know, it'll save me some cash. Why consider the 9600 Pro? The onboard sux (well in comparison), it runs considerably cooler, will OC like a Mofo (something I may not do), and(this is just a guess) it won't have to feed the need for more juice (or as much) compared to the "I need a floppy connector" 9500 Pro. Thanks for reading this post any suggestions will be appreciated

Peace out
