I have ordered a MSI 845G chipset board called MAX 6580-020 from newegg. It should be here in a couple of days.
I also order an enlight case, a Western Digital 120 GB special edition Hard Drive, A Raden 7500 OEM, a Toshiba DVD drive, a keyboard and mouse from them.
From OCSystem I ordered PC3200 cas2 RAM. About $200 for a 512 MB module.
From Googlegear I ordered the 2.26 GHZ Northwood. There was a price reduction by Intel last weekend. It was $270.
Wish me luck putting it all together, as it is my first build.
Total cost, about 1000 dollars.
Have not ordered a DScaler input card yet. I would like an inexpensive one.
Thanks everyone here, and especially Xcel, for the good advice. As you can see, I took the advice to heart and stayed within the recommendations of the group. It should feed my Barco 1200 quite nicely.
I will start putting it together next Wednesday.
I will post my followup notes here.
