And remember this cautionary tale, my children. Buy the parts yourself and build it yourself, and avoid all of this....and get a better system in the bargain. ;) Just be glad is wasn't a Dell, Gareee; several models have had the ATX connector 'customized'. Use an off the shelf PS, and smoooooooke....as well as voiding whatever warranty may have still existed. And check out the deals a newegg, Karen. AMD is getting ready to make socket 939 disappear, so if you don't mind having a not so bloody edged system, you should be able to pick up a board and X2 for a lowered price; I upgraded three of the boxes in my rendergarden over a few months to Athlon 64 3000+'s on an Abit A8N-VM microATX board with onboard video and a gig of Kingston Valueram for right at $250 a box. A little careful shopping and skimming of pricewatch.com can yield all sorts of gold if you can do it yourself.....
