Hello how are you? I am first time user to your site. 

 

This is my second venture out into building my own PC and this is they

I would like to hear your opinion of the configuration

My questions are:

 

1.      Are all components compatible? They seem to be based upon my
research.

 

2.      Would/could you recommend a better configuration if not?

 

3.      Vista or Xp Pro/Home?

 

4.      I have three serial ATA hard drives, all Western Digital HD's (type
of controller card?)

 

Any additional recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Joel M. Ingegno
