Actually, what I meant to say was did he get everything all at one time, or piece by piece? Over a period of a week, two weeks, etc? I'm so poor now I can only get parts two weeks at a time until I can get more cash. All I have is the case, all the fans, floppy drive, and the motherboard. Memory, video card, and processor is going to be killer for me to pay because I'm aiming for high end stuff. I still need the DVD burner, TV tuner card, hard drive, cables, and sound card. I hope to get this system complete at least before the end of next month and that is a long ways away. I wish I had parents to give me money too.
