LF> more answers to my questions here.
Anyways, an opportunity came up. Some of my family and relatives are going to the wedding of yet another relative this November for about a week trip or so. This guy owns his own computer company of sorts called Cyber Power, and he says he can get me parts as long as I provide a list and a budget. About the only obvious problem I see with it so far is that I have to shell out money earlier than I planned, and I'm not even guaranteed a stable income source yet.
FYI, the company website: http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/
Grabbing stuff through this guy should be cheaper. But I'm wondering, will the quality of the parts be good or not compared to other outlets? (He's given me the impression that the components will be assembled on the spot, and by that, I mean he's not just going to be buying a graphics card from somewhere; he's going to be buying the GPU, the sockets, the fan, etc. But I could be wrong =P)
Also, keep in mind I still intend for this to be a learning experience. I don't want to just ask him for a gaming PC and expect to have it all ready to go.
