You've made my day sir, pardon me while i run off and purchase 4 freaking chicken nuggets so I can get one... oh yeah, and a tiny insignificant drink with several fries.
woah ^that post was useless.
anyway, a usb mouse will usually be faster then a ps/2 one, but there is little difference to all but the most hardcore of hardcore gamers. For a keyboard however, it is probably not such a great idea to use USB. Often your bios won't have recognized and enabled...

whatever fits the bill I suppose. I have never had a problem with a sony drive, but it is personal prefference and i should not wish to hijack this thread.
In summary, use trusted names and retailers, do not be afraid to ask questions and please take suggestions into as much consideration as...
take a look at newegg, sony's drives are actually in the low end, and it's a name anyone will go "ok, that's a name i've heard of, i'm not scared it'll break"

Throw in a good video card and that would raise significantly.
you're getting the 7.825

Personally, i've been selling pc's for a couple years now and the few times that I have sold to someone on a finance plan it has gone exceptionally well.
I usually charge around 8% apr, but it is unlikely you will be able to find a percentage that low from a retailer.
If you want to learn...

well sir you just got two conflicting answers. Basically, unless you're setting up a server, you'll want to steer clear of scsi, ATA or IDE or EIDE is what you're looking for.
The cause of our current social crises, he would have said, is a genetic defect within the nature of reason itself. And until this genetic defect is cleared, the crises will continue. Our current modes of rationality are not moving society forward into a better world. They are taking it further...
