Planning the build for my perfect PC.
I have armed my self with a couple of good graphic books and what I consider to be an excellent video with good information and Audiovisual
guides. I have also latched onto a couple of computer garu's and have taken
careful notes. ( Just make sure when you are speaking to a computer geek that the conversation is out of ear shot of another or other computer geeks.
This is for your own protection. Dealing with more than one and you will go off into cyberspace and crash faster than the most inferior product on the market. No this is not as easy as creating Frankenstein, " simply sending

designed for ATX mother board and I also want it with a slide out tray so I don't have to lean over or squeeze my fingers to locate plug locations or find it as difficult in getting out the last spark plug on a Mazda. Power supply in the 700 range and plenty of cooling. I want a graphic card that can handle anything that I throw at it. I want tested components and not pay attention to bench marks that will not mean a hill of beans. I will stick with Windows XP
Professional until Vista gets out of beta mode. What I hope to end up with is
a machine that is superior than one that can be purchased at a big box store.
Ah yes the inners of a PC used to be frightening. No longer!! I will go about it with the zeal of a nuerosurgeon reaching into the fartest limits of a human brain. "Where no other nuerosurgeon has gone before." And get by without frying myself. Yes the quest is on. For others who are going to build keep us informed of what you have chosen? Doc Ferguson
(cooling, Air, water or phase change) ? (CPU) Single, Duo or Quad ? (Graphics Card) Single, SLI or Cross fire ?
