I'm going to load it up with 2 GB DDR2, an AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+, and the OS will be Windows XP (SP2).

Vista issue?? Or not?? Hi, I am running Vista Home Premium. I had been running 2 Western Digital 500GB drives in RAID 0 mode. The external enclosure was a Fantom enclosure.

DPC's and stuttering mp3 player Wireless adapter died. Bought a D Link DWA 142 Rangebooster to replace it. Holds signal much better than previous one. Works great, but doesn't play nice with other programs. Problem arises when I want to use the computer as a jukebox. Whenever the wireless sends it's query to the network, it spikes the CP... 24 Jun 2008 09:13

My girlfriend has a homebuilt PC, which she keeps in the 'comp cubby' that came with her desk, i.e. a small area under the desk where your tower is supposed to go.
