dude, if you needed help building a comp im sure that a lot of us would have been glad to give you advice on what to get for a good price and stuff. heck, if you had a webcam i could have helped you build it right on the spot through IM. o well, it's too late now, you already got the comp. just keep it in mind for the next time, ok? and for everyone else who needs help with their comp and doesn't use firewire, i'd be glad to help. I love to fix and build comps, so it's no trouble at all
