The only pre-built computer in my house is the lappy.
Have 5 desktops in the house and all of them have been custom built by myself or my father.

Don't worry vass, I am sure newegg won't let you down and will have those parts shipped to you ASAP!

Not a bad system Matt. I would love to have some more HD space. In fact if I do make another computer upgrade, I think I need some more RAM and definetely need some more HD space.

Ahh well it happens vass. (WTH, YOU have company coming over! )
Yes I know about your PIII 650. Rough life, eh?
