building home studio/seeking advice on pc

I have a Roland SI-24 Studio Package Pro and will be using Logic and Sibelius to start with.

My computer whiz brother and I are building a pc to be a designated audio machine. This is what we came up with on my budget:

Intel Pentium 4/ 2.8C GHz 800MHz FSB, 512K Cache, Hyper Threading Technology

2 Seagate 120GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drives,

Building a DAW

I have a Mac G3 with a 500mhz processor with 768 MB of RAM, and 20 GB of Hardrive space (small, I know). I would appreciate suggestions on the proper equipment to buy for long term use. I am on a budget but would rather buy a couple of quality things first and build on a good platform than to try and conquer the DAW world all at once on a limited budget and end up with a half ass studio.

Building my first DAW - Newbie Questions

This will be my first scratch build dedicated DAW. Ive searched around the forums but still have many questions - I'm sorry if these have been gone through before.

I do not need up to the minute performance - Im trying to do this on my college student budget. Something based around a P4 2 - 2.4 processor would be ideal. I have all the accessories, OS etc. - all I need is a box.
