Howdy! I have a plan to build new box at time, when 8.0 release will come up. Would be fine to have opinions on the list, what to buy, to fully implement it to desktop node. My idea is to get some 4 core phenom II cpu, with not expensive mobo. Another dilema is the graphical card. At this moment I have agp version of nvidia 6200, fanless, that manages just fine. Something similar on pci-e, not fancy, 2D. I'm really puzzled should it be amd or nvidia with newest am3 mobos. And the last, ethernet port on the mobo was the problem on my present k8n. After introduction of nfe driver all is fine. If recommended card has not working port, what to buy separately? As you already guessed, I don't want to spend a little fortune for this node. Decent, but not expensive, that's it. Best regards Zoran
