Building New PC

Looking to build new Intel based PC. Have found a Tyan motherboard I like and would like suggestions on who could put together the "barebones" part -- motherboard, Intel processors, and memory sticks (may need to go a bit further) so I can take it from that point an install hard drives, video, etc. Also want to use SCSI. Any suggestions? I built my last one so don't necessarily need all the experience. I'm trying to save myself some time but I do have a very specific set of components in mind -- high end machine, no overclocking.

Thanks for any input ...

It shouldn't take all that much time to put the processor in the motherboard and stick in the RAM. You'd save alot of money just to do it yourself.

Definitely need to know what you want to do with this computer.
Unless this is a server, SCSI isn't practical or very useful. I agree with Jer888, I'd just put it together, even if you have to do it in stages.

We recommend ASUS motherboards, as they're really reliable and pretty user friendly.

I'm approaching 1 year without a floppy, and I hardly used the one I had for years before.
