b4 my builds..i always lay out my parts and tools that i need like a doctor operating..lol like russ said the most time consuming is installing the software and all the updates that's needed.. but for me to put the unit together only 30 mins tops and depends on the case and the way..i want my wiring to ran thru it..

Is anyone else using K-Meleon web browser or am I the only one??

I used to use firefox and have used opera in the past but
Kmeleon is faster than both of them and very customizable.It's list of features is quite extensive.
Here's a few of them here:
http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/wiki/Features

Give it a try see what you think.

I think I am going to switch back to Firefox 2. Three is not much better and Windows Live Hotmail doesn't work properly. I might try Kmeleon.

Hey, how much will the 4850 cost?

What, are you freakin angry at me? I just said that I had personal experience with that card and that it's a great card. I didn't know about the 4850 back then.

I have NOT been keeping up with PC news after losing my computer.

LoL, what happened to it happens to all my PCs. I sold it!

Yes, the Q9450 should work out great. I'm personally holding out for the Nehalem CPUs but those wont be out till end of this year or next year.

That's good, make sure you got everything running right. Get the newest version of Prime 95. It stress tests all four cores in one instance.
