Hello Frank and Darryl,
Thank you for the kind words. I hope everything is going well with your systems. We haven't spoke in a while, so I guess that means they are.;-)
Carl,
I would stick to name brands for components. We have had tremendous success with the Intel SE440BXNAV2, Seagate Barracuda and Cheetah, and Kingston Ram, amongst others. We have not had one problem with any 001 installation for the PC (ide or scsi). Good luck with whichever way you choose to go.
Best regards,
Chris Richmond
