Nice machine! The personal reward of building your own is worth a lot. It sounds like assembling the hardware is the easy part. Setting up the bios/drivers is the difficult part, but can be done by someone like you and me who know very little about computers. I know hardware from reading reviews and this thread, its the software set-up stuff that I'm lacking. Overclocking a Celeron really saves on the pocket book. Congrats, S.W.

>>I disabled the USB ports on the mobo, since I wasn't using them anyway, and I disabled one of the two serial ports. << Ditto. All of my machines both work and home have a disabled USB. The USB port on one of my work machines was disabled by a technician who indicated he could not get the machine to work otherwise. The USB port may become an option when it replaces several components ( keyboard and mouse and..) This will hopefully free up some valuable IRQ's. I do not think the time is ripe yet. Congratulations.........long posts are always welcome. Zeuspaul
