I agree completely - put one together yourself. It's not that hard once you start, you get to choose the hardware yourself and can build something that fits your budget. AND you don't get a machine overloaded with SW you never gonna use anyway.
Finally (and most important in my opinion), you get to learn the inside of you machine pretty well once you get it running, growing a little taller yourself..!

Morning All, Train, Looks like there's some work to do. For those of you that are serious about building, I would suggest looking over the Operation Delta Threads to get a feel for what's ahead, then your list of components and any question that comes up be sure to ask. Do not let it go. Unanswered questions in your mind will tend to stymie a person. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Morning Greengoose You crawl out early this morning. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

I would suggest the 800 to 1 GB range, and 1 step off the top for motherboard as the new on the block tend to have problems and this way we do not have to fight them.
ASUS A7V ATA100
Duron 800
InWin S500 tower with 300Watt ps
WD 30GB 7200Rpm ata100 harddrive
The hardest part is to convince yourself you can do it. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Train,
Been playing around with the Anfy JAVA thingy. Do you know any way to remove the following function:
When I creat an image and place it on my website, if a visitor clicks on the image, there is a small pop-up asking if the person wants to go to the Anfy homepage. Not a major problem, but if it is easily removed I would like to do it. I don't know JAVA so keep it simple. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ Is it perhaps one of the parameter doo-hickies that show up right before you save all files? Thanks.
EDIT: OOPS...Problem already taken care of. See my post below.
------------------
I crash...therefore I am.

maxx, if you want to know Java I collected some addresses I could send you although Bistro could probably tell you off the top of his head. I can't - sorry. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Thanks goose, but one step at a time. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ I'm still trying to teach myself HTML. Using a WYSIWYG editor now. After I get a handle on it, I just might be looking you up for some links. I like this little ANFY program with it's wizard-style interface. Just want to "tweak" it a little...hehe https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Just wanted to let you all know. After all the worries and bugging you all. I got my PC going. I decided not to wait to get one through the mail from the Inet. So I called around and noone had the Inwin S500 cases or anything close. So I finally go a case that is what I wanted.
3-5.5 drives,,, 3-3.5 drives,, 250W ATX PS (Standard at that) no special order crap like before.. Nice case for $49.99.. Not bad I dont think..
Now as I can I am going to get all the stuff I need to build an Awsome PC. Thanks Everyone for your help. Especially with the Mother Board.....

That's good, Dodge. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ When you are ready to build, we'll be here. Or, if you wish, take a journey into the Cybertombs and go back...back....back into the Operation Delta threads and seek ye the infamous Queen_Of_Hearts saga, "The Night We Created a Monster: The Transformation of Q_O_H from a Lowly End-user to 'POWER LADY'!

Hi folks https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Train,
You can ignore my above question on the ANFY thing. Queen of Hearts wandered over to my site and found the offending lines of code for me. I'm going to tinker with it the next time I update the site. Thanks anyway. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ Still love that little program. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ Maybe I'll link the image to VDR...hehe.

Max, I must have missed that one. What program is it you are talking about.
I have been reading some of the old Delta threads, cant find many. But, when I get ready to build I will look again.
The only two things I need now is a new Floppy drive and new ribbon for it. The drive doesn't have a front on it. It was made for that front cover on the HP, and now it sticks out like a sore thumb. And the ribbon was to short to fit in this new case. So no A: drive for now...
