How "good" of a system you're looking into? ---Troth ----- Original Message ----- From: cris To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, September 14, 2003 1:44 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Trying to building a P4 PC - unsuccessfully! Ok !! I'm lining everybody up to tell me what to buy and where to buy it and how to build one!! The guy trying to talk me into it did say that the hardest thing is (and most expensive) getting the software and getting it on and running.
