Build system from scratch?

[Lance Feagan]

Yeah, mwave.com is actually very good to deal with.  I actually know the
people who run the show there, they are in City of Industry California,
which was right next to where I lived for 2 years.

Two other things: 1) I went and quickly compared telectronics prices to
those at MWave, MWave is pretty consistently lower and 2) if you start to
really put all the pieces in for a system, shipping usually starts to be
less than tax for a reasonably well built up system.

Also, the selection at Telectronic is nothing like Mwave.  I do not remember
the exact Square Footage at the Mwave warehouse, but I do remember it
seeming like about 8 to 10 football fields big, and things were stacked up
40 feet high in it.  Low computer prices and good selection are a function
of volume and they definitely have it.  For example, getting a nice quality
heat sink from telectronics is not possible.  Why do they not sell anything
worthwhile like an Swiftech HS or one from Alpha or for goodness sake,
Global Win, its not like those are pricey.

Anyways, update us with what you want to put into your new box from your old
and about how much you want to spend.  I always make my budget, and I have
had some pretty damned stingy friends with their money, things always work
out.
