Hi,
Is there a recommended way to build a box? Here's what I think you should
do:

1. Load OS
2. Load mobo drivers from mobo CD
3. Update OS
4. Load software

Is the above correct?

That's about the way I do it, although I d/l the drivers beforehand from the web.
Another thing that is important is to install a firewall *before* you hook the
computer to the network (which would be between steps two and three).
