Hi guy's. Just a quick one. Looking to build my own PC from scratch as you can see from my specs I'm a laptop lay person at the mo. Are there any decent step by step sites to make sure I don't set my house on fire or electrocute the dog? Thanks in advance.

Youtube has some fairly good step by step guides by Compita.  There is no electro here just possible ESD to parts if you dont discharge your self.

Windows 7 RC Tester.  Working on it.  Your monitor says etchasketch on the side!

If I fall who is there to pick me up now.  I stand alone but I stand as the gaurdian for whom I wish to protect.  The sound of my blade utters my name as you fall.  For I shall not move.  For those that forsake the very people are wosres

9400ST probably is meaning the 9400GT (the nvidia graphics card). Everything looks decent, but that graphics card isn't that great it you want to be playing video games but it's good for video playback and all that!  ;D
