Len Thanks for the help ! Right now the only thing that I do know for sure is that I will go with NT And I do want the 4 monitors :-) You will probably see a lot of posts from me in the coming week or two. I look forward to the new Matrox card and will need some help there two. Like Street Walker had said about using the 4 cards - it would be cheaper - the place that I will have this built at has the Mystique for $59 X 4 = $240 and that's $500 less than the Appian But like I said in my other post, I do not know everything about computers and would rather spend the time with the market than trying to figure out why I can not get the puter to do what I thought it should have done in the first place. Thanks Tim

I got initiated in building by own system with a 2" cut on my thumb while installing the video cards. Oh I also installed some new ram. Don't know why they charge so much at the stores for them to put it in, it was so simple. Okay, what's the hard part of building your own? When I opened up my case, it looked like the motherboard was just screwed into the case, then the harddrive and CD Rom were bolted in and hooked to the motherboard, and then the graphics cards. Oh, of coarse the power supply had to be connected. Am I missing something? The only thing I want to avoid is more cuts<g>. How hard is it to install the PII chip and heat sink fan? Thanks for the kick in the pants. S.W.
