Thanks for the info... I'm getting new everything.. so that's not an issue. also, I can go up to about $225 for the MoBo adn about $200 for the CPU, so I'm going to go with the Athelon XP 1800 since it seems to be the upper edge of reasonable price/performance. Any recommendations on the MoBo? I...

I have a cordless A4-Tech IR mouse that has a wide angle transciever on both the mouse and the reciever - I don't find it limiting at all.. the mouse even works 90 degrees off of the reciever. Only time I ever have a problem with it is when I forget and put a box or something between the mouse...

priceline is crap... at least for short notice flights. I many times need to travel within a day or two.. priceline is useless since they take 5 or more days to get you your ticket and don't use electronic ticktets(What's up with that?) I usually find much better deals with cheaptickets.. and...
