Well... background for my desktop I guess you could say, just imagine some icons for "My computer," "Age of Empires," "Excel," etc, toolbar and there you have it.;)

I am also new to computer building but I'll try to help if I can. I found specs for your motherboard online, like you said, it supports dual channel, but it wouldn't support PC4000 memory, only up to PC3200. Could be a mistake on my part (finding the specs for the wrong motherboard or...

Wow... that would take a huuuuge desk for all that stuff. I have six (4 back and 2 front) USB ports... plenty for me.

I know how to type... slowly. (29 wpm) Backspace is my best friend;) I don't look usually, I used to and now I am trying to break the habit. Started practicing by typing in the dark when it doesn't work to look.

YES! It appears to be working now. I took the jumper completely off the DVD drive... I am not sure what that sets it to, but hey, Win2k is installing the setup files. Thanks again for you help!

I tried booting it with just the floppy drive and the hard drive, it didn't work. I am going to go work with the jumper settings a little more I think, so could be very slow with replies. Glad to have someone helping me, I need it.:D

I did try swapping the IDE connectors but I had the same problem so I put it back. (I also tried setting the hard drive to slave while the connectors were swapped) I think I might have read the thing for Windows XP in my searching around on Google. Problem is it won't recognize my disk...

I am building a new computer and at first when the computer finished the POST it would say "NTLDR is missing.” I poked around on Google and read through a half a dozen explanations of how that could happen. Eventually I changed the jumper settings of my DVD drive and my hard drive. Both are...

Well, two computers with one core, and one with two cores...

There is a 939 socket processor that someone posted recently that looked like a good deal. It is an Athlon 4000+ (without a heat sink/fan) for $87 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103528 Or if you want to get it with a stock heat sink/fan this one looks pretty good...

On my computer (my dad's old one) 20+20GB It used to have a 1.9GB hard drive, lol. On the family computer 250GB

I have one, but like everyone else I rarely use it

Alright, thanks guys. I was mainly wondering about newegg... but it makes sense if online stores don't have much of a price drop. TherealChessnut

Haha, sue them for the amount of the rebate... now that would be funny. Personally I avoid rebated items... (or I only look at the rebate as a bonus if that was already an item I was getting.) Basically what a lot of companies bet on is that most people will either forget or won't go through...

Maybe prices don't go down all that much or at all but I was under the impression one of the best times to build (from a bugit prospective) is after Christmas/New Years. In general when would you guys expect the prices to be a bit lower? It probably makes the biggest difference for prebuilt...

I like the S3-IS... the lower megapixels is a bummer, but I like the shutter speed.:P

Hey sweet, I was planning on getting that one. There is also a very similar one that Rosewill makes... the TU-153... looks slightly different and has a couple more 80mm fans. (The TU-155 looks better though:D ) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811147011 TherealChessnut

Of the three I like the Xblade (third) the best. This one doesn't have a big wow factor to it, but I like the Rosewill TU-155. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811147001

I'm wondering if it would make a Linux or Unix OS more susceptible to security threats. Just curious, but hey sounds cool, I would like to try some sort of Linux distro at some point. Here is another blog on Wine as well as Google's Picasa for Linux, if anyone would be interested...
