*yawns* ok, I've got the mounting order figured out, and bistro, I've added a few steps to your list (setting up the RAID disks, for example, and boarding the shutters for when the tornado kicks up https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ ) Time to hop over to newegg.com, order a couple case fans, IDE cables (mobo came with two, but each drive is on it's own channel, so I'm two short), then look for that TV tuner again. Not necessary but a nice addition. BTW I plan on using a "regular" keyboard until I get the OS up and running, then install the cordless one.

spragers,
you can do us a favor by trying out the cordless keyboard before windows setup is even begun.
a friend told me he has one, and says he can access BIOS and DOS without problems.
the cordless mouse, well, when it shows in the initial setup screens, it will work on standard driver...
this intrigues me.
but, good hardware should work this way.
(in an old tip I posted about modems, I mentioned that any 56K modem that can do its job in DOS, is a full hardware modem... full hardware modems will perform better than any winmodem.)

I think we forgot to ask you a question...
Besides that, it's only free advice...
Kind regards, Jaak

hmm... my reasoning was that it is a USB device, but it also has PS/2 connectors. I'll give them a try, just won't be able to use all those fancy bells 'n' whistles right away. Don't really need a scroll wheel in BIOS though do we? https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Would somebody please post Bistros list? That way whoever wants to look at it can, and I can also put it on the website when I get the chance. Hadn't found the list in the old topics and eventually I gave up. I will also be posting a link to Spargers page and webcam when I update the website. But we still don't have any date for the build.

logowriter,
The way my schedule is I cannot promise anything; but, I hereby declare that this Saturday, at 9:00 PM central time, the official building of "Q" shall begin. It will not be completed in one session, since I just ordered the last few parts tonight. Saturday will begin with the installation of the CPU, heatsink, memory, and mounting of the motherboard (video card if time permits lol). If all goes well, Sunday will follow with the installation of the hard drives and CD drives, maybe running some cables. We'll take it from there then. I will post a new thread tomorrow announcing the build as GG1 did. Now where's that giant scissors to cut the ribbon with...

logowriter: looking all over the place in here and can't find the (modified) list. (Could it be a sign? https://discussions.virtualdr.com/) Perhaps GG1 knows where it is and will repost. I have it at home (at work right now).

Good Morning All, What? The list has disappeared? Bistro's famous step by step "General Guideline Build List"? Is that what you are saying? M'gosh our first full fledged crisis on Operation Delta. Hah, I have hardcopies at home and in file on the Compag. I'll look on VirDr in a bit and see if its there. ")

The List is posted here. It's an "updated" one, but not sure which "updated" one it is... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

THAR it is! Thanks, Q_o_H. Yes, that's the list with Modification 2378-B. The one with modification 2379 will be coming out later; available in hardback or paperback...It will be known hitherto as....(tympani roll, cymbal crash)..."THE LIST".

WHEW! Disaster averted. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
will be putting that on the website as soon as I find time.
BTW, AmazingTechs is down. Wondering if sarkazztic will still be rebuilding his network online. (see here)
Wait, he's still out elk hunting, isn't he?
