Thanks for the advice. I have an older geforce 2 board, that I plan to 
use at least for now. I also have an almost new 20 gig 7200 rpm hdd I 
plan to reuse. As for sound, if the on board sound is good and it is 
supported, I'll save the slot for something else. Does the mainboard you 
mention have on board usb and or ethernet? Or should I use separate 
cards for those functions as Kevin suggested.

Thx again,
Dave.

P.S. Where is your store? I'm in Clarence. Is it far for me?
