The problem with constructing a 'Book (or any 'puter really) from bits is that without a complete correctly working unit in which to test parts it'll be very frustrating not being able to figure which part(s) is causing the inevitable problems.
Though it runs counter to the OP's original proposal, it's much better to first buy a complete, working unit, then patiently source the bits for the second unit. Trust me (hard-won-lesson), troubleshooting without known-working spares is a total headache. Thus the rock-solid-totally-logical-can't-argue-with-common-sense reason I always have waaaay more Macs than I _really_ need. :-) dan k ................................. http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 ................................. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
