<div dir="ltr">Thanks for the reminder on GigaParts, hadn't been there in quite some time. I had got used to online ordering. They have a combo deal where they have already populated a motherboard with a CPU and memory. All I have to do is find a case I like (I didn't run across one there) and I should be set.
