build a computer exactly like mine. Except, get the FX-55 processor, 200gb ide hd for OS, 4 raptor drives for storage, and 2gb of ram. Then you will have a 3000$ computer.

get all the parts from newegg

Dont get zonealarm firewall, if you can afford it get Sygate firewall....

Theres no point in a software firewall period. The point of a firewall is to stop or block connections from one host to another. This is why you want to be BEHIND a firewall. Running a firewall on your system does not put you BEHIND the firewall, it puts you right ontop of it. Still allowing people to connect and overflow programs gaining access to your system. If you want to prevent intruders, get spybot, nav, and buy a firewall to sit between your internet and your computer. (A seperate box) Do you have to use a dialup connection? is there no highspeed in your area?

 

[C0RR0SIVE]

My area has no cable/dsl at all, thats why i use a software firewall, just to keep idiots and virus's out, and to keep servers from scanning my ports, and my Sygate is made for enterprise level servers...

Well that sucks, they have 2 way sat internet now.. Its better than dialup.

 

[C0RR0SIVE]

Its not worth it here, and it only uploads as fast as the phone will allow here, considering they require the phone to upload and the sat to download....

Not true

Put a firewall behind it, and you have unlimited computers and a hardware firewall.

Why? I dont think local government can prevent you from buying a dish. Maybe the fcc, but not the county level.
