Hello All,

I was here in early September asking for advice on building my own system & then I pretty much disappeared. I wanted to let those of you who tried to help me your efforts did not go unappreciated. Due to a series of events, one being I was in a car accident, I wasn't able to build my own system after all.

I wound up buying from an online seller & thanks to what I read here I was a smarter shopper. I made sure I got a good PSU, a Rosewill 600w, because it was stressed this was very important. I also got a Thermaltake uber quiet cooling fan, round cables, upgraded CPU cooling fan & a cooling fan for the HD. The computer itself has 4 gigs RAM, 500 gig Hitachi HD, Asus MB, dual core CPU, XP OS. It's a pretty decent system & I can do a lot more things on it than I could my old system...so far I'm happy with it.

Again, thank you for all the advice, recommendations, etc., I appreciate it very much. It really did pay off in it's own way. Take care & be well, when I need computer advice again I know where to find you guys. ~Xen

    You don't NEED to come here JUST for computer advice, you know ;)

    Come for the tech, stay for the friends :p

    Glad it all worked out for you, sorry to hear about your car accident.

    Stick around!

    Not a bad choice at all. You don't have to jump right into do-it-yourself. My first computer was off-the-shelf crap. (Off the shelf used to be much lower quality than it is today.....especially Packard Hell, I mean Bell.)

    My second machine, when the first one fell apart component by component within 9 months, was from a custom shop. They salvaged what they could from my Packard Bell. After a couple more upgrades from a custom shop over the next two years, it struck me that upgrading and DIY probably weren't so difficult.

    Ta da! Then I started building my own.

    You are on the right track, though. Custom is the way to go if you don't have the opportunity or desire for DIY.
