Hi.
We’re getting closer on this. More great PMs and feedback.
This should be one great system. Memory and video cards are now
solid. MOBO is a little up in the air though.
What to
take another shot at it? I appreciate your advice!
Thanks,

Many
thanks to everyone, including a great fellow who sent me a PM. This
is a joint effort, and the configuration reflects your great suggestions and
advice.
Here’s
the latest configuration. I’d like to finalize and order by
Thursday. Please take a look, especially the questions.
Thanks,
Dan.

Andy sold me on this guy. Very fast, flexible, full featured, and
FOUR PCI-E slots. Great expandability. This is the one!
