Thank you so much for doing that!

I will take that with me too and see what they say about my bringing them parts to actually build a computer from and how much they would charge me to do it.  Maybe if my nephew has time he could do it but he's been busy with school and helping his mom with things so I hate to dump on him.

 I suspect I'm going to make their hall of fame wall for most annoying customer,  LOL

I'm going to go and get them to give me a price quote for a few different systems and then bring them back here. before making a final decision. I want to be sure that I'm getting something good and not substandard and  I don't trust myself enough to do this on my own because I'm rather dim with this stuff. If the prices come out too high then those links look like a really viable alternative.

If I borrowed a book from the library I could probably put it all together myself, but I'm so insecure when it comes to dealing with computer stuff. It just looks and sounds so daunting.  I  have replaced a picture tube in a very old B&W Zenith television. I can even take apart a vacuum and the motor and replace the bearings and put it all back together and have it run!  But put a computer in front of me and I freak at the thought of opening the computer case.

Thank you all so much for helping me with this task!  You're all so wonderful!!
