[QUOTE="imported_SuXoR, post: 191853, member: 7931"] loooks okay, i'm not a big fan of sis chipsets tho. remember that you have to buy your own operating system, which leads to this problem: when building a computer there are in my opinion 3 major tasks: 1) you must select what hardware to put together. this is a fairly easy task now days, as most parts will work together. past experience and brand loyalty are major influences here (disregarding cost). remember you get what you pay for. 2) the parts must be put together inside of a case. again, this is probably the easiest step in the process. as long as you didn't put the square peg in the round hole when you were a kid you should be able to handle this step. 3) you must install the operating system and drivers. this is in my opinion the hardest and most time-consuming step. seasoned system builders usually have a certain order of operations here as well as preferences for drivers (aftermarket, or beta drivers). in most cases the cd'sthat come with your hardware contain outdated drivers and an excess of bloatware that you will never use while it bogs down your new system. SO- while that e-bay system looks okay, remember that in addition to buying (or otherwise attaining) an operating system, you have to install it (be sure to have drivers on a floopy disk if there is an aftermarket raid controller), configure it, find drivers install them in proper order, and basically set the machine up yourself. so if you are willing to learn, go for it. my two cents [/QUOTE]
