Building your own uh? Well As you see I havent posted since the 3rd. I decided before I got a case to take apart my Dell to see what it will take to put it on another case. After cafully taking it all apart including the CPU off the mobo. You needed to take that off to remove the board from this platter Dell uses to mount there mobo. Well anywho after all that I put it back together and next thing I know my Dell mobo is bad. Well thats what Dell said when they ran me through a few Diaonostics. They wanted $150 for the board. On ebay after shipping they were $75. So I said no way. Long story short and $365 dollers later. My old P4 HT CPU and the rest of my guts are now mounted with a Asus P4P800 Mobo "almost same as Dells but ATX Form and same 478 Socket, Ultra 500 Watt Xfinity PCU, Bay fan controller, and a Huge Hyper 48 Cooler CPU Fan. All this is put in a case by Aero cool. Kinda looks like a Jet engine lol. I'll post some picture once my batteries are charged to my camera. The only bad thing is that its the P4 from the Dell so the processor is locked. So I'm still stuck as 3.0GHz. I guess its ok for me now, I just went a week and half with out a computer
