Thanks for the suggestions Abe.
When the time comes, I'll let you guys know how the building of the computer goes. I'm tempted to do a cheap one just to try it out. I get some email ads from TigerDirect that occasionally are about building a system from the ground up.
Here's a question - how hard/easy is to build a laptop? I don't see much about that, so is that just a completely different animal that is not advisable for the do-it-yourselfer? |

Laptops are a pain in the a$$ IMO. There are some barebones laptop kits but I wouldn't bother. I used to service computers and have been in many name brand model laptops. They are made quite well and with the screw layouts and space to work with in there I would just leave that to the pros. I put a dvd burner in my Apple powerbook g4 with the 12" screen...What a nightmare. They make those things bulletproof, all the cables taped down and so snug. UGGG
A desktop is really not hard at all. The worst part is usually getting the front panel connectors to match up if they are not labeled well. Other than that its nothing to "build a pc".
