Thanks Don,
That is very helpful advise. I hope to have some time this weekend to
really go at it and try to narrow down components.I dont know what this is:
dual video adapter array. So then a premium fan and heatsink is better than
extra cooling fans or liquid cooling systems and will weigh less?
I had wondered how much of a power supply to get, so at least 600 watts. I
also meant to ask about noise, really dont want a noisey monster of a
computer. I probably would upgrade the video card somewhat and am thinking
at least 4 mg of memory. But I have to see what this will all cost along
with purchasing Operating system. At the ibuy site, I need to see which one
looks like a midtower.
