1. Become one with www.pricewatch.com
2. Beware of inflated shipping prices
3. read up on electrostatic discharge; don't build your system while wearing
synthetic soled shoes and dragging your feet on carpet
4. call web vendor to see if anybody is home; weed out the co.s with bad
service
I've built 8 barebones x86 arch. Linux routers. Prices are starting to rise.
I think video cards give folks the most trouble. Research parts, make a
choice, then ask specific questions like: have you used mobo A with video
card B with debian?
