This is the first all-new computer I've bought in about 7-8 years! Generally, I've done motherboard and component upgrades. I thought it was time to start from scratch. I considered ordering parts and building by own but then decided I couldn't spare the time so I ordered one custom built. If anyone is interested, the place I ordered from is J&N Computer Services (http://www.jncs.com/) and I was very impressed with their knowledge and quality of service. You can talk to them on the phone and get straight answers from someone who knows their stuff. Very professional & highly recommended. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
