Writer's remorse, a better analogy would have been "about as difficult
as adding RX2 to my SDR-5000" :^)

I used to build my own as well, in fact is was a part time business

buying a PC on sale or one that is not necessarily the latest and
greatest is more cost effective. Even the low end machines are super
now a days. "Building" your own sounds impressive but it not nearly as
difficult as building a K3 for example, which is nothing. You would be
hard pressed to buy a PC today that can't run PowerSDR effectively.
Most of those having problems are trying to use older PC's or laptops.
It amazes me what you can buy now for not that much money. I spent
something like $400 for a computer with a terabyte drive, 8Gbytes of
memory, four cores, and the list goes on, six months ago. I think that
Windows 7 64bit is probably the most expensive "part"inside. It does
not even sneeze.
