Hi everyone,
Well, I am getting together a pile of stuff to put together. I haven't built a system since the old 486 days. This is a moderate system, performance wise. I don't play games so it is simply a practice session and an upgrade. I do contribute to rosetta via BOINC software so at least it will be put to some good use. Please check my list and see if I have forgotten anything. My first 64bit system as you can tell. I bought an Antec P182 case. With rebate, it was/will be $45.00. I would appreciate any advice. I know the video card is not high speed for sure. I just want to be able to see a decent screen (old age).
Thanks and blessings to all,
