In case you haven't received a comment on where to get parts. Their are 
many sites to order parts from. A good place to start is shopper.com or 
zdnet.com. some of your local stores may also have parts. i agree with you 
that its better to build your own system. Its cheaper and more satisfying 
to know exactly what's in the machine.
