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.

both have $40 off rebate (ends Saturday 6/30). Suggestions on this?

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

P5W64 MOBO?
