Many thanks to all who answered my questions, all of which indicated how little I knew. Advise to those who believe they are too old to go through with a first build -My next birthday will put me at 83 years old and I did not have nearly the problems in doing this that I had expected, as my generation did not grow up understanding much about the strange world of computers. It was fun, frustrating, a learning experience and to my great surprise everything turned out beautifully

that's great to hear--congrats. I thought I'd have trouble at 45, having not really had anything to do with computers until about 36 years old.

it was easy wasn't it. almost a let down---heck i might have to "crack open" the side panel again of boredom and make the wiring look neater or something:D ;)
