First Build

I'm thinking of building a computer (for the first time!) to run fedora on, and I was wondering if anyone had any useful bits of advice regarding components etc.
Thanks

If you are wondering regarding Fedora or Linux specific advice (hardware compatibility), just search the hardware section of the forum and take note of the problematic (that is: to be avoided) components.

Generally speaking:
- buy a huge (aluminum) case: you won't regret having more space in it...
- buy a brand PSU (with modular cables, maybe)
- don't use the "stock" heatsink that comes with the CPU - buy a real cooler for your precious processor
- consider some hard disk cooling device
- an UPS is a good idea
- search for dvd burners and motherboards whose firmware is upgradable natively with linux

... and have fun
