OK, so what do the technophiles do then? I build my own PC because when I was first doing it ('92) that was the only realistic option. It remains far cheaper and I can ensure build quality. And I have Linux...I just don't use it as my primary OS. That wasn't what I meant, however. That's just your take on what I typed, running a post of multiple parts into one. And yes, I despite blue LED's. My case sits beside my desk. Its a utilitarian grey and pale blue, and its best features are the power button is on the top front and it has a carry handle on top.

Could you elaborate on this? I'm kind of curious since I don't think computer building has been discussed on list, and I've been contemplating building a PC for some time now (following the template of Ars Technica's Hot Rod (http://arstechnica.com/guides/buyer/system-guide-200608.ars/3), although I'd probably wait for a decent AMD replacement for the Core 2 Duo processors they reccomend - I just plain don't like Intel. Something about them bugs me.) ~maru _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
