So any critiques and CONSTRUCTIVE suggestions on how you gurus would build with this set up? (you can see the options by clicking on the side of the page on my build list link)
Would you go Vista OS 32 or 64?
And it is encouraging to see you last 2 guys posting your good experiences with the aopen boxes cuz that has given me the faith to move forward with the purchase. So guys and 2k1Toaster ...what do you think?
I got to tell ya guys I wish I had the time learn and then build one by trial and error and burn something up and get radically frustrated, but I don't! I keep reading how people mismatch mobo's/chip sets/ bios drivers to CPU's and things won't work.....scares the crap out of me. And fortunatley I have more money than brains right now(maybe not tomorrow, hehehe) so I need a plug and play situation for right now. And I want cutting edge for the future.
