Frank,

I'm also building my own computer. I figure I can build a $3,000.00 P4 3.2 ghz computer for about $900.00. I just ordered the Intel P4 Prescott cpu which is 3.2 ghz with 1 gig of L2 Cache. I haven't decided on a motherboard as yet, but I've outfitting my equipment choices from TigerDirect.com and Motherboards.com.

Let me know how you make out.

Al
