I have bought stuff off of newegg before, but when its important and I want a local seller so that I can see the thing I am buying, I go to Intrex. I did a quick search however and it looks like they only have stores in NC. They would have been good for you too, because I can go in there and ask the guy for a step-by step of how to do something or fix something and I've always been told, free of charge, then I go back home and do it on my own.

Building a system really depends on your money situation. That will drive your decisions on what Harkoliar mentioned.

Being a member of IW, you know there will be several people here eager to assist you in getting the best equipment for you money. Just post how much money you want to invest and we'll start from there.

An opinion from me...don't buy the important stuff from online stores because they are harder to get exchanges, shipping sometimes damages goods, shipping takes too long when waiting on a part to make the system work. We need to find you a good local shop in the area so you can walk in and see the item you are buying from the man you can go back to and shout at when something don't work.

Also...winter is here and that means static electricity. Don't build your machine while wearing fluffy socks on the carpet.
