I build my own machines with mainly AMD processors (there's nothing wrong with them, they just haven't been as fast as Intel for a round or two. AMD processors are less expensive and use a lot less power.) Asus motherboards and video cards based on NVidia chipsets (ATI makes horrible drivers), Corsair memory, Antec cases, Sony optical drives, and Seagate hard drives. Server class systems I sometimes build from Asus or Tyan boards. I also purchase them from Dell and SuperMicro.
For anyone not myself, I usually send them to Dell. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -------------------------------------------------- From: "Marlon K.
