    The DVD drive from the rig

    Things have certainly changed since the last time I build a desktop ... the memory is huge! ... I was looking for the thermal paste, but it was already on the heatsink.

    I am getting it together and putting it in the case in a couple of days.

    Anything I need to know after I get it together and getting ready to boot? I plan to use Linux as the OS ...done with windows. I'm guessing it's going to be different than it was 8 years ago.

    Any "look out for" you can tell me will be appreciated.

    Thanks for reading my post.:D
