i am looking to build my own desktop and have then ship to to me and
get a good warranty
on all the components, my price range will be $400 max. Anyone know of
any good sites where i can select the  pieces i want and see the final
price (within my budget). Don't need a monitor, already got 19" CRT.
especially interested in linux friendly system, don't need MS Windows
either. i heard core duo systems generate too much heat so just single
core for me i guess.
