Re: building a custom computer

My favorite online vendor for components is NewEgg, might be worthwhile comparing with BestBuy.

Re: is this a good choice??

Hello,

Picking out computers is like picking out cars. Do you take the cadillac to Menards / Home Depot to haul drywall home, or do you take the Pickup truck to the Airport to pick up 6 business associates that just flew in?

What would you like to do with this computer? Video digitizing? Games? Simple word processing? What OS are you thinking of? Linux? Windoze?

Computers are tools, just like cars, and what you are going to use them for should be part of your design process.
