Some had tech issues or services issues and most do. NOTE: there are others to check out like Tiger Direct, CyberpowerPC and the list goes on. I went for a system that I could add to with local parts instead of some of theirs but can work right out of the box to get going. Delivered price will be just under $1,500.00. Took the prebuilt 780sc gamer and modified it some for what I wanted. Compared built versus order the parts myself etc, etc, etc. I have been doing my research now for 2 months and finally bit the bullet. Head off to the computer store, tell them what you want, and they'll build it for you. If you lack the experience then that's not a problem. You're much better building one yourself. They'll create mobos with only the jacks/outputs relative to the system that they're building so if you want to expand, you're out of luck. HP is great for saving money on their premade systems. For example the PSU that comes installed has usually been calculated for that particular set up and if you want to expand, you end up having to buy a new PSU.

one for work and a Dell one that works on computers that supposedly only support Vista and an upgrade version that has worked on a few computers.The problem with buying pre-made computers is that usually they're not very expandable. How can I format the drive if I can not get XP to see it? I have tried other XP cd’s, I have my corp. It comes with two floppies one for the blue connectors and one for the black. The floppies do contain the files needed I checked them on a second computer. It will go out after I hit cancel or exit. The thing I do not understand is why the floppy light stays on after hitting F6 to load third party drivers. And both are seen by the BIOS, I disconnected the second SATA drive so there would be only one drive to be used at first. The DVD/ZIP drives are both set on an IDE cable. I have tried each of the settings like (Raid, AHCI and IDE) I did try the F9 set to default. The cable only connects one way, there is a notch one each side of the cable.

I tried a known good floppy drive and then a good cable. Tried doing, I did most of what you replied with. I have used every thing on the MB we site and can not get to the drives even though the BIOS can see them. I tried booting in to the RAID section and selecting RAID, I just used one drive and using known good SATA cables.

I have tried the F6 to load drivers I used both the blue cable and the black drivers. I checked the floppy disk on another computer and worked great, I used a known good floppy drive with the same results, I used another known good floppy drive cable. The provided Floppies did not work the floppy drive light was on after I hit F6 but not before. I booted to the XP Pro CD and no HD found, fine since it has SATA drives I will load the drivers with F6 at boot. The floppy drive light stayed on after I hit the F6 key.

No problems with anything, BIOS found all drives and the other drives.

I will post more if needed, install went great. Two used SATA 2/80 gig drives, a used DVD R/W drive, a used IDE zip drive, a floppy drive and a new P/S 800WT. It is a new MB, new Corsair memory (2 1gig DDR2), an Intel quad core CPU and fan. I have made a few computers in my time but this MB is a real pain in the rump! I have been given the task of installing a configuring this main board.
