PC Parts...
Anybody got any place they like to go to get their H/W for PC's. Looking to build a box to throw Linux on at home. Use to go to a place in Wilmington but can't seem to find them now.

For those older geeks that remember the EggHead stores - that is now Newegg.com - probably the best place in service and one of the best if not the best in price...
Ken, I'm thinking HTPC / Home server as well, now gotta check out that board... You do yours yet?
Thanks,
John

Not sure if I want htpc (mtyh), home server Win/Linux/FreeNAS, both 
Really hate to think I need to do a needs assessment and C.B.A. from home for home  |

linuxmce has a interesting interface includes X10 and VOIP integration.
Not sold on it, WindowsMCE has free scheduling until 2013?
Need a better convert to dvd that what it has now.
So you going to hange out the htpc assessment and implementation shingle? Interesting option. |

Yea, liquid would be awesome,Just too much more money
it would have added to the build,plus I haven't dabbled in that yet.
I'll try it in the future and thx. I love the way this thing looks.  |

google beyondtv. easiest thing to set up for a htpc.
John you just brought back some memories. Heading into egghead and buying kingsquest on 5.25 floppies
I wondered if egghead was newegg. Same great customer service. I give them all my pc and gadget spending money. They usually come in lowest in price most of the time too.
