Mary, if quality is your primary objective and cost not a major factor (ie
if you are prepared to sacrifice a few dollars in the event you mess up and
damage something--unlikely if you read procedures well). I would suggest
you start from scratch and buy yourself a good case and add in components
from there. If you enjoy research, there is an abundance on information
available that can help you decide on some options based on how much money
you want to spend and what your performance objectives are. A mailing list
such as this (and others)has many people who are very knowledgeable and
more than willing to give advice to help in making a final decision and in
troubleshooting problems you might encounter.
Enjoy! It's great fun and tremendously satisfying to build your own.
