after roughly a month on these forums (give or take), i have learned enough to be able to make my computer (i never thought in a million years it would happen.) my job at walmart is helping me to buy all of these parts, along w/ a newegg/paypal deal. thank you to everyone that helped me do this. people on this forum have guided me through a (what seemed like) a long journey to the land of the knowing , and i have learned patience in waiting for something this great. so again,, i thank you all.
