Nope, not at all.

Great. Maybe Jeffro will pay dearly for it. I am in the last stages of putting together the parts for a new rig. If anyone has any other tips in addition to Bullhead's ( I am already worried that all my parts are dead from static electricity), I would appreciate it. The main thing that worries me is not putting the parts together, but getting the thing to work after I power it up.

Just be aware of it ralph, I've not done it myself, but have seen pc parts killed by ESD. And yes, the getting it to all turn on can be a challenge sometimes. I've been known to not plug something in all the way, or mis-seat a card/memory, only to go crazy trying to figure it out.....it happens

Let us know what you're looking at buying before you do, so anyone with that hardware can give you a thumbs up/down on it....

Yeah, I've built dozens of systems based on AMD and Intel and the part that pisses me off the most is getting the power switches to work, the pins for them are sooo freakin' tiny on the mobo and sometimes you have to flip them to get them to work. Why can't they have made power switches a little bigger, like the size of a 3 pin floppy power connector or as big as the molexes.... grrrrrr
