Poor Pat - I wish I could spend that much on a new computer! I must be envious to write this much: Why the K7 instead of P3? The Celeron (A's of course) is a better buy than the K6-2. I'm kinda curious whose advice you're going with on this. Anandtech? Super7? Tom's? I've heard a rumor about a new DVD standard coming out shortly. You might want to consider waiting for that. I've found watching DVD movies from the computer pretty pointless. (I do use the TV-out from my decoder card though.) 200Mhz SDRAM? Are you buying this around Xmas? Funny that you're getting the SBLive for NT support after all the NT problems they initially had. (www.planetquake.com/gldojo) Since you're not averse to shelling out $$$, why the IDE Raid? Better performance using high-end SCSI. Plus you can then use other SCSI devices. In fact, I'd recommend the Asus P2BLS as an excellent Slot 1 motherboard. ~$330 with LAN, SCSI Ultra FW and BX chip support. Not sure of an equivalent Super 7 MB. You've probably seen this review of the Promise Raid IDE already: anandtech.com The Logitech Cordless mice are great but for 2 problems (I've had one for 3 years): I keep hitting the damned thing and sending it halfway across the room! Sucks when playing games with the lights out. Keep lots of spare AAA batteries around. It'll start working hesitantly before it fails, but there's no other warning on battery life. (When they came out with the cordless KBs, I emailed asking what would happen when people's batteries ran out and they couldn't boot their computer. They never responded.)
