I have decided to trade in my old car and take the money and buy myself the VERY BEST computer I can get my hands on. So today, I went on a dream cruze around Egghead and rounded myself up the fastest, meanest and badest boy I could come up with. Now, I want all of you, to help me get this cost down, if its possible, or make recommendations on what to change, if anything. This is going to be my best dream machine ever, and I want you to help me create the
dream rig of a lifetime. All comments, feedback are welcome so long as they are constructive, helpful. Thank you.

NOTE: I had to remove the http:// from the last three links because Yahoo only allows 10 references.
So you need to COPY AND PASTE the last three URL references WITHOUT the asterisk.
Thank you Simon! Good advise there.
Thank you Rhyled
Yes, I was considering the fact about the number of bays and decided I would buy a small tray conversion kit from 5-1/4 to 3-1/2" The box has several 5-1/4" and I only need one, but thank you!
