Building a computer? pci express?

Ok Hi all I'm looking to get a new computer for audio recording and mixing. I know this topic has been done and i have read the posts and I'm still uncertain. First of all what places are there that will build and test your system for you that are actually reputable and not amazingly expensive? I know of mwave.com but are there more?

Yamaha DSP Factory & Tascam PCI-822

I have both cards installed under Windows XP in a 1.2Ghz 256MB P3 system. Using Sonar 2.0 I can record 8 simultaneous tracks on the PCI-822. I can also record 4 simultaneous tracks on the DSP Factory. But if I try to enable recording on a single channel from the "other" card the recording fails with dropout errors.

Firewire/USB PCI card for Power Mac 9600?

Can someone recommend a combination firewire/usb card for my Power Mac 9600/350 upgraded with a Newer G3 500/250, OS 8.6?

I'm pretty sure I'll have to upgrade my OS to at least 9.04, or even 9.1

I'm using a Pro Tools Mix Plus system. Will my PCI bus be overloaded if I install a PCI firewire/usb card?
