Ok here We go ... photos ... I was able to get the new computer built and up and running ... you can talk on-line shopping all you want ... but I dis-agree ... I had the processor on Dec 23 ... after talking to the Fry's rep I had a mother board & memory on Dec 27 ... The new SATA DVD took until Jan 13 to receive ... computer was up at 2:30 last night ...

Now the WW 1 Ambulance build ... I started from open the plastic bag ...
