Thanks for all the suggestions. Here are some preliminary thoughts on parts and pieces to build a computer. Most parts are copied from a computer I saw on eBay. I never built a computer before. Who needs support from Dell? I can just bang my head on the wall when it don't work. What you all think about this computer?
