> What: PLUG Linux InstallFest - Saturday, July 31, 2004
> - Bring your computer for help installing Linux
Thanks to Dennis (and all) who helped me at the Linux InstallFest
last Saturday. I really appreciate all the help that everyone in PLUG
so graciously provides.
Dennis, I never did receive the email that you sent to me on Saturday
(can't imagine what happened to it, but it apparently got vaporized).
So, from my handwritten notes, I tried to reconstruct the hardware list
that you recommended for the new system I want to build, but I'm not
sure I got it all right (see the list below)
Below is a list of items from newegg that I am tentatively planning
to order (unless you or someone else on this list has some other
suggestions for a better (or cheaper) setup that would work well ...
and for which everything will work with a minimum of tweaking.

motherboard: Asus A7V8X-X $56 $126

* I don't understand what the Antec 3700 case adds (at $69.99)
as compared to another case I noticed that is only $24.00:
