Re: [PLUG] Computer Case recommendations?

[gyoza@comcast.net]

Sorry to say, either it's just easy for me, or it just isn't that 
difficult to build computers these days.  Shopping for parts is a little 
trouble unless you just buy anything.  Building is like Legos.  
Installing software is like Legos.  Dealing with software problems is 
the most difficult part, I think.

Example: I built my brother a computer that didn't require any add-in 
cards.  Everything is built into the motherboard.  I did have to 
exchange the memory because it wasn't running at the rated speed.  (It 
turned out well because now the memory is not only is running full 
speed, but it's in dual-channel mode.)  Other than that it was extremely 
easy.  However, I have been dealing with Kubuntu Linux issues since 
then.  Currently, audio issues.  (The good news is that Linux is easy to 
work on from 30 miles away.)
