I have gone that route buying all the parts at NewEgg and finding a local place to put it together. The 3 I have tried look at my rig and go wow I never have seen a computer like this before.
Here are the specs of it
Lian LI PC75B ATX Case
Antec Truepower 550 Watt PS
MSI Neo 2 865 PE
P4 3.4 Northwood CPU
2 GB Corsair 3200 ram
Nvidia Geforce 4 6800 ultra AGP
Sata 150 74 gig Boot
Sata 150 200 gig Hot Swap HD
Sata 150 200 gig Hot Swap HD
Audigy 2 Platinum zs
Plextor Sata DVD RW
Canopus Storm 2 video editing board
Win XP SP 2
I had the guy replace motherboard and Ram. Hooked sata drives to MB and booted it up nothing he could not figure out how to get HD's to work off mb.
He ended up using a Sata controller and got boot and rem HD's to work but, the two rem drives no longer show. It took him 20 minutes to figure out why computer was humming he did not put enough juice for my video card. These guys around here have no exp with computers like mine. How can I expect anyone to build a newer similar computer now.
