Thanks, Gary and (everyone else :). I've built plenty of clones so I can do
it myself (unless you mean hand solder surface mount chips to a
Mother#$%@!ngboard :^o uch! ). PC Parts Express seems to be getting the
most votes. Are there any mail order sources anyone can suggest. I might
just go piece-by-piece to pricewatch.com (and certainly would if this were
to be a Linux box), but I need advice on putting together a cheap but
adequate Windows 2000 box. Thanks.
