I thought about that/would like to do that, but i'm not as computer literate as I used to be. lol How hard to do is it? Do you save any money?
Well... I think i built my whole computer (from parts from ebay) for about $600. It IS a bit more spendy, but you get to put
quality parts in it. All you need to do is buy a case, processor(AMD), mother board, ram, fans, video card(nVIDIA), sound, and if you want to "roll" with style, get a DVD burner. If you want to be "cool", DO NOT PUT A FLOPPY DRIVE IN IT!!!!!!
And how in the world did you fill a 40Gig drive? I don't think I have ever had a 5 gig full. You must have a huge movie/MP3 library.
Hmm, that is actually a very good question... I don't have much installed;
