    Xander,

    Splurge a little and go for a case with a 400 watt (350 minimum) power supply. Especially if you want to overclock, I'd be suspicious of a case AND PS for $30. I just priced out a new system (wont get one till the new thunderbird procs come out) for gaming, and a good airtight case and separate PS came out to just over 100--though I spent more on the case than I needed.

    Hmm... $20 per hour sounds mighty cheap to me. I wouldn't do it for less than $45/hr myself. But then, if I did it for anybody, it'd be a freebie favor anyway. Yeah, I know that about the warranty. I just wanted to get a tease in.

    Hey, that's what the ad said. And, yeah, I'd be a little suspicious of that, too. Myself, I'm running an Antec 350W.

    I've built a bunch, and I'm sure a few others on the board have...mind posting the specs you're looking at?

    You mean thoroughbread? The thunderbirds are the old 'Athlon' chips - the XPs, MPs, 4s, and Duron 1Ghz+ chips are all 'Palomino'.

    Well, unless you have a list of certifications as long as your arm, no one up here will pay you that. Tech-savvy people are a dime a dozen in my area.
