[NTLUG:Discuss] Recommendations

[ddaupert@csc.com]

I have a spare 17" monitor, 20 gig Seagate harddrive UDMA 100, and an ATI
Expert 98 video card.

Now I'd like to get the rest of the parts and build a pc, trying to keep
under $500. I haven't built a
system from scratch before.

I live in Fort Worth, but have a free day this week when I'll be in Dallas.

What computer establishments would people recommend for acquiring parts?

What are your thoughts on whether to get one of the BYO systems, or go ala
cart?

Do you have any favorite mfrs for motherboard/case/CD-ROM etc?

Thanks for any thoughts,

dennis
