[PLUG] local hardware

[Christian]

Personally, I love PC Club. You gotta wait around on the ENU store to 
open AT NOON. My day is half over by then. I do not know anything about 
PS. I wouldn't recommends Belmont either, as I have had to go and fix 
some of their ignorant mistakes. One guy had his pc in there 3 times to 
have the same issue fixed, they kept it for a week each time, and 
returned it unresolved. They may be better now, but I still won't buy 
anything from them.

If you are going to put Linux on it do a little research on the chip 
set. Some are harder than others to make work, ie linksys wireless cards 
are a pain to get working, while cisco wireless cards tend to be a snap 
to get them to work.

ALWAYS DO YOUR HOMEWORK.... or be prepared to spend time getting things 
tweeked just so.
