Jim, you might want to check these guys out:

They have some pretty damned fast preconfigured machines, and I have
found them reliable and priced fairly.

I would venture a guess that about half of the reason Jim is building
the
computer is for the joy of doing it with his son. That joy doesn't occur
when one just opens a box.

Not necessarily.



That's why I used the term 'guess'.

I don't know if you have any kids John but at this stage.my son (18 in
April) knows everything. He wants to show he can do things on his own, and
I have no problem with that as long as the results are not catastrophic.

Although working with him putting together a computer might sound like fun I
am having second thoughts about it. He has never put a computer together
and frankly this is too expensive of a project to leave to him to do by
himself.

Regardless of what we do he will have input on the hardware that goes into
the computer.
