Oh..and I was not trying to make anyone jealous on this forum...I was just letting everybody know that I have at least caught up to the rest of you, since I was doing a P3 450 for the past 3 years.
On another note...do any of you think that I can build this thing on my own, or should I have my friend do it?

It is a very good learning exercise if you build it yourself Larry...but it can be frustrating if you are not technically adept [img]smile.gif[/img] I say go for it on your own and if you have probs, ask your friend for help [img]smile.gif[/img] One thing you MUST learn before you touch anything is ESD safety....Always keep yourself grounded...they provide little grounding straps these days but I just aslways make sure to be in skin to metal contact with the case when handling the components, especially Memory and the CPU.
As for the Power Supply, you can always change it out for a bigger one later [img]smile.gif[/img] they come out real easy and are pretty standardized.
