A box full of parts, a screw driver, and a couple of hours later, I now have a new computer that is way more powerfull than I have ever had before.

I'm amazed at how simple it was to assemble, and how much cheaper, than buying a complete computer. It now has Ubuntu Lucid LTS 64 bit loaded and I'm in the process of installing the audio production software (to much to mention). Afterwards I will add the video editing (Cinelerra, Kdenlive) stuff, then the photography (Gimp, Cinepaint, UFRaw, Qtpfsgui) stuff.

So a big computer with more creative software than you can shake a stick at, and all for about the price of just the Final Cut Studio software package. Boy I do like the world of open source software and do it yourself computers.
