I just discovered that the USB ports on my Asus M3N78-PRO motherboard are not supplying sufficient current. The result: power-demanding USB devices like a Canon USB 2.0 scanner and an iPod Touch 3 would appear then disappear then appear then ... in the device list. Isn't there a USB 2.0...

Building your own computer by whitneyl
How hard (or easy) is it to build your own super fast state of the art computer? Is it something a person that's never tried it could do on his own in a reasonable amount of time? Would I be able to get some good help from the group? Is it worth it?
