Louis and I are putting together a pc at home. After a lot of research about components, I ordered all the parts from a website called RueDuCommerce back in September. We finally received the last part just this weekend. There was a problem with one of the shipments.
The box listed the contents as a motherboard, but inside I there was a hard disk, but not the hard disk I had ordered. I returned the hard disk and they sent me the correct one. After a few weeks I started to wonder what was up and after a few phone calls got them to understand what had happened. They didn’t have the motherboard that I ordered in stock so they had to back order it.
There is still one essential part that I’m missing. I need to get a CPU heatsink / fan. It sits on top of the CPU and keeps it cool. Some motherboards ship with a heatsink and some don’t.
We went with an AMD processor. They seem to have the best quality/price ratio. We have 512mb of ram, the latest, hottest graphics card (a must request from Louis), the requisite CD engraver, a nice 17″ flat LCD screen.
