Oh, that's also going to be very helpful to read! Thank you! :)

Thanks for all your kind and supportive comments everyone. I've shared them with my husband and he appreciates your help too. We just got the components installed in the tower and hopefully we'll get to do the OS installation in a couple of days. We just need to study what you wrote a bit more...
