Based on the reported performance results of the last system you put
together I would appreciate your comments and opinions on this system I plan
to put together with my son:

MSI K8N Neo4/SLI motherboard (w/built in SoundBlaster Live chip)
Althion 64 3000+ CPU, Socket 939 version
2 GB DDR400 Corair Ram
256MB Nvidia GeForce 7800 GTX video card
Antec Performance TX640B Series Case
Plextor PX-716A dual layer DVD 16X
Maxtor 300GB DiamondMax hard drive
Viewsonic 17" Thinedge VP171B LCD flat panel monitor
Windows XP Professional OEM

He already has a decent keyboard, speakers and optical mouse. I will also
add a DVD player so he can record copies of the DVD's he owns.

I can do this for around $2,000.

Any suggestions or comments?

PS (I know this was previously posted but I never received any feedback
from you).

Asking for computer feedback from Harry?

No flame, but Harry has admitted being behind somewhat computer
illiterate in recent years. I read he just recently got his first
digital camera, about a year ago.

Just curious.

Netsock,
Harry recommendation to follow up with someone in the CAD design
business was a perfect recommendation.

Harry is making positive strides to be a better human being. He is finally
admitting that he doesn't know everything about everything!

Bert,
It is amazing how all of us have made great strides towards making the a
better NG. If we keep this up it might actually become 2nd nature to be
polite to each other. ; )

That's just common sense...it doesn't say anything about his
experience or knowledge.

I was using CAD software in the late '80s, and it was then known that
you need lots of processing power, and gulps of memory to run the huge
page files.

Netsock,

You really don't have anything to gain by arguing with Harry, that is
exactly what he wants and his reason from coming to rec.boats.

Reggie, our newsgroup know it all Harry doesn't argue with Netsock for some
reason. Netsock has alluded to outing Harry on numerous occasions and each
time this occurs Harry slinks away.
