Hi Guys: I just discovered a useful free E-Book: "You Can Build Your Own Computer" by Robert Derman, downloadable from http://www.dermancomputer.com. The Link is entitled "Computer Textbook" and it's a PDF = 5.5 Meg. Even if you don't plan a Home Building project it contains much useful stuff about Component Quality and Brand Choice. It's dated early 2007, but you'll find updated info in the HTML "Retail Price List". Also useful is the abridged HTML "Newbies Guide". I'm reminded of earlier days, when Unix appealed to people who built their own machines as much as people who wanted to modify Source Code. Faictz Ce Que Vouldras: Frank Mitchell
