CHECK LIST

If you are going to build your PC, the first thing you'll need to do is get your parts list together. There are two reasons why you would want a check list. First reason, it just plain sucks to get far into an installion just to find out you have forgotten a crucial component. Just as importantly, the check should have a price next to each item and thus give you the cost of your endevour.

RED (**) - considered optional.
GREEN (***) - For Mainboards built after 1997, if you are using Windows 95/98, LS120 can be used in place of 3" floppy utility drive. However, many other operating systems still seek the parallel port for floppy support. All other are considered standard devices.
