So, if I go with one of the "barebones" systems at newegg, isn't a lot
more of the work done for me? Like this one that I posted before:

http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16856110024

It seems to be pretty compete to get me started. Do I NEED a faster
processor then the one with this system right away? I figured I could
upgrade it later. Eventually, I plan on building a separate back end,
but for now I thought this case would *look* ok in my entertainment
center. I need to know if I am missing anything before I order. I am
going to wait on the HD and Ram. No reason to spend that on a small
hard drive when I can go to my local store and pick up more gig's for
my $$$ (especially given the holiday season!)


Thanks again for helping me out.
