Hmmmmm, this is interesting. I haven't thought of it but it makes sense. I'll have a look around Newegg and see what prices are to package this up. What brands would you recommend?

Ummm, do I actually have to know what I am doing to put it all together when I get it? I don't know the first thing about hardware.
