Authorized AMD resellers won't screw you on your heat-sink/fan/power supply. If they do, report them to AMD. (At least with Athlon/Duron systems) I saw someone at General Nano wanting to put their Duron in an el-cheapo case and he didn't get very far. They even asked my what I was putting in the el-cheapo case I bought. (only bought case, had everything else.) > Also, was thinking of installing a removeable HDD kit so that I can avoid a > dual boot system. Any suggestions? Why? You swap the hard drive to boot a different os? It's still a dual boot, but now with the time consuming step of switching hard drives. Besides, you might like using lilo -R win && reboot to automatically reboot into windows. I do this from the couch all the time so when B5 is over I can wander into my room and be all set for Counter-Strike. ;) Andrew S.
