Howdy all- Well, after reading sharkyforums for a year on my blazing-fast, uh, pentium 166 mhz , I decided a new computer was in order. The victory is that this forum conviced me to build a new rig rather than buy a pre-built. I am a little nervous, but I'm counting on you guys for help and advice. So I placed my order last night, and I'd like you all to check it out.
