My specific questions would be...
What brand hard drive should I choose between Matrox, Maxtor, Western Digital, Barracuda, and Seagate? With memory, how many MHz should I at least get and PCxxxx? what do the terms DIMM, SODIMM, ECC, and CL all mean and what should I get? I'm getting Win2k, but just wondering which edition/version you recommend? For cooling should I go hydro or stick to the ole fans? I don't want anything too noisey or heavey. Also, I will be using lots of USB if that helps for the mobo. I'm looking for a 2.1 speaker system. Thanks!
