Went with the 2.4GHz Pentium 4 on the 533MHz FSB, the Radeon 8500LE with ATi's proprietary drivers, and bought an LG DVD-ROM drive. These are the current specs of my Linux PC, and unless something phenomenal (and cheap/free) comes along, this is likely how they'll stay for some time:
Pentium 4 2.4B || 512MB DDR333 || MSI 651M-V (µATX) || 128MB Sapphire Radeon 8500LE || SoundBlaster Live! || 40GB WD ATA-100 7200RPM || 52x24x52x LG CDRW (8523B) || 16x LG DVD-ROM (8164B) || ASUS 400W PSU || Debian 3.1 r2 (2.6.8-2 kernel)
In other news, I've had a chance to play with the new MacBooks. The size and weight is very nice, the keyboard is surprisingly usable, and the price to performance ratio is pretty impressive. Now, if only it didn't have that damned glossy screen.
