[ale] Place to buy desktop in Atlanta

[Jim Kinney]

Oh. Yeah. Best bet is to use the PowerSpec systems. Those use the
boards they sell. But not all boards are in systems so there's that
issue.
I haven't built anything with consumer parts is quite a while so I'm
out of the loop on what works and what doesn't anymore.

gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
