HP support has major problems. My friend had a Jornada that had to be sent in...they managed to fix it, cause another problem while doing so, where he then sent it back, they sent it to Sascatuan! After 6 months, he ended up with a faulty old IPaq 3870 (thanks to the merger...they had no more discontinued Jornadas). He's trying now to get his money back...the 3870 was faulty. He bought a Dell Axim, but still has the 3870 in the shell waiting to be sent back to HP. (Keeps calling about the money...they don't respond very well...)
About building Mysticstorm, you can easily find a guide. You really have to get a Mainboard that fits your case (you have to get that too), install a CPU, power management devices, fans, RAM, and several PCI cards for graphics, sound, network, and modem. Then you need a floppy disk drive, (not really, anymore), a CD drive, and a Hard drive. It's usually cheaper then buying a similar system prebuilt. AND, you get to choose EXACTLY what goes into your system so everything you pay for is something you actually want.
People say that parts support is a problem when you build yourself, but I'd assume that you'd get far better support from individual manufacturers of the components then from the major computer company. If I didn't want a laptop as my main system, I would have definetly built it.
