    The MSI MS-1651 barbones. Thinking about buying this barebones system.
    Is the process easy for someone new to it? I have experience in building Desktops, and the hardware involved.
    Is it as simple as installing the hardware needed?

    (sorry if this or something like it has been posted before after shuffling through allot of threads couldn't find exact answers.)

    It looks like a new 1651 barebones is right around the corner based on the gt627. You may want to wait a little bit.
