1. Become one with www.pricewatch.com 2. Beware of inflated shipping prices 3. read up on electrostatic discharge; don't build your system while wearing synthetic soled shoes and dragging your feet on carpet 4. call web vendor to see if anybody is home; weed out the co.s with bad service I've built 8 barebones x86 arch. Linux routers. Prices are starting to rise. I think video cards give folks the most trouble. Research parts, make a choice, then ask specific questions like: have you used mobo A with video card B with debian?
