I think everything there is pretty solid, a couple very minor
recommendations at the end.

Honestly, I doubt you need 4GB of ram.  You can probably save yourself
$100 by just getting 2 GB.  My main desktop at home typically runs 3
Desktops concurrently (my wife and my self via the switch user stuff in
X, and a second one of mine via NX), and it only had 1 GB of ram until
this past weekend.  These are all full blown gnome desktops, nothing
lightweight there.

I'd recommend getting one of the Lightscribe capable burners.  There is
linux software, binary only, to drive them, and lightscribe discs look
*awesome*.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136134 is the
equiv of what I got (my model is actually discontinued now).

There is no silver bullet.  Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
