I am looking for an Email discussion list which supports persons
interested in building their own micro computers.  I am particularly
interested in getting information about component sources and being
able to discuss the merits of different motherboards, etc.
If you know of such a discussion list please advise, including email
address for subscribing.

Having looked at the market I am convinced that I could build my own PC
by buying off the shelf boards, drives, case, etc. and save a significant
amount of money (or have more PC for the same money).   Also, if I "roll
my own" I believe that I will be in a better position to upgrade it
when such things as the P5 chip and a 64 bit, high speed bus come along.

The PC that I would like to have would be used to run AutoCAD 12 and
3D Studio, as well as the usual gamut of word processor/spreedsheat/etc.

Some of the features I intend to have are EISA bus, VL bus, tower case,
big SCSI drive, big power supply, CD ROM drive, etc., etc.

If I am not successful in locating a discussion list which deals with
building my own PC then I would be interested in starting one.   If
you would be interested in subscribing to such a list please let me know.

I will give a week or so for all to respond and then I will summarize the
responses to this list.  Thanks for your interest.
