ITS-ETO Consortium Oakville, Ontario, Canada > (905) 847-3253 apet...@aspetrie.net <mailto:apet...@aspetrie.net> I can understand not necessarily wanting to work on this yourself. I do not receive any consideration at all from the Canadian companies (from the Falls) on my list, but I absolutely trust them to build the very best and stand by their work... Please see my recommendations at my blog... https://youcanlinux.wordpress.com/company-recommendations/ It comes down to rock-solid reliability and the highest-quality components. I have had the shop work on my computer years after purchase. The customers see the value in this devotion to quality, attention-to-detail, and total pride in their work.

If you still want to build it yourself or have GTALUG members build a computer, you might consider sourcing the parts from this company and even have them assemble the motherboard (proc, fan, RAM, any ancillary cooling options you might want) and test so that you have a reliable base system. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEzBAEBCAAdBQJXm/+8Fhx5b3VjYW5saW51eEBnbWFpbC5jb20ACgkQ8lGJOKg+ e0nYKAf9HxwgwJUMDAlfgfW/SSKQlxFCucVfZalwPtavdFotc8mZR+lrQzlug2jO lgSs4bqkrNj+72vCpDMKDd7QhApjBrvWGmdiI5EfgbZQyK77DLVFfw8ZoyrTxB1U 3CxHeauv1vRi+mD4FcpCfu3NmEDqSJmJQeKvip5dBZwQT2KgK8KDWrVqQsNHEiRQ 9xhmZ4X8QcvX0lOAX5jALpDgu4g5mAuDlaERbtzp4FJzeSZ+2YGCx4bWFwrCmZaa HVORprg2M5tKPMY/ccBzKCXk+5GR6sz/UVCLZ6cTno9Xk0YIEr9Bdm3x16SswoLB U3Ch2NYxPC9spw+XanBzuv8ibbfPDw== =5CfE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --- Talk Mailing List talk@gtalug.org https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
