[gentoo-user] [OT] Homebuilt Mobo bundles

[Harry Putnam]

I guess that could be seen as a kind of spam.  I hope not.

Further, so far as googling this kind of help or info.  There is so
damn much out there.. its too hard to tell what is good or even real.

So here it is:

I have a recently dead Intel P4 winxp box, I've got it completely
stipped dowm, mobo out etc.  Its a mid tower antex box.. nice size and
fairly easy to work inside of.  For me that is really important
because I spent my life working with big heavy stuff for 35 yrs.

With it all in pieces already, I thought I might try building it
backup up with some more recent components..

I thought maybe a mobo bundle would be a good starting place.

Anyway, I need some help digging through all the balony on line about
the newer mobos.

  Here is an example of one possibility:
  http://www.directron.com/fall-motherboard-combo-4.html

I'm wondering if that really is a deal or just a fake come-on and the
price is like that all over.

Is there anyone here who is willing to correspond with me privately
about this project?  Maybe someone who can vouch for some of the more
recent equipment out there.

Since gmane obfuscates the email address on From line here it is:

I'd like to hear from someone who may know a bit about homebuilding a
computer.
