I have problem with technical stuff like using screwdriver and after I had problems with doing it with some old PII I decided to leave it. I still want to know every detail by myself and even if somebody build it for me I want to watch the details in the process. I still need to choose the exact parts and I hope that the link that you gave me will help me. I will probably not go for opteron250 and I will need to get details about prices for opteron248 or opteron246. Uri
