Warning One for the Money...

I know what you mean. Fortunately I have had good experiences online so far. Most of the parts for my current rig were purchased on Ebay with a few of the pricier ones purchased at Newegg.com Newegg has the best prices around and good service. Building one isn't that difficult. It takes longer to install the OS than to do the physical assembly. I did have one issue with this box and found out that Abit motherboards do not like Micron RAM So I just replaced the RAM and everything was perfect.

Worked well for me when a processor upgrade went wrong and the guy that built the machine for me replaced the MB free of charge. Unfortunately they seem to be going out of business so I'm planning to build my own this time. I've never done it before but if all works out then I'll know exactly what is going on inside the box. That way I'll be able to fix any problems myself rather then relying on someone else
