I am working on a MP3 box for my TV/Stereo room.

I need a Socket 370 MicroATX for Celeron

1) RCA video out on the mobo if possible. (I have a AGP card with RCA out)
2) Sdram memory PC100/PC133.
3) ATA100 a plus but not needed.
4) Lan on the mobo if possible.
5) Sound on mobo if possible.

(I will only be running a DVD,Floppy,1 or 2 HD)

I have looked for these thing on the web and in stores.

It would seem there are alot to choose from, I need stability and low cost. I will overclock if I can, but I will let it be if the stability is lacking.

Any help in finding this would be great.

Thanks,
 
I've been looking for a similar board too- I found this one on a UK website (great for me- being from UK and all :D )..

It's an AOpen board... I think the model No is "MX36LE-U"
Here's the blurb from the site
The MX36LE-U is Intel Socket 370 motherboard based on microATX form factor featuring the VIA Apollo PLE133T chipset. With high performance chipset built in the motherboard, the MX36LE-U can support Intel Socket 370 Pentium III / Celeron processors and 66/100/133 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) clock. According to different customer's requirements, 32, 64 128, 256, and 512MB SDRAM DIMM modules can be applied to the motherboard and the maximum memory size can be up to 1.0GB. The onboard IDE controller supports Ultra DMA 33/66/100 mode and the transfer rate up to 100MB/s. Further flexibility can be achieved by taking advantage of the Communication and Network Riser (CNR) card that allows audio and modem configuration on a single baseboard design. Besides, the MX36LE-U has an AC97 CODEC chipset onboard, providing high performance and magic surround stereo sound to let people enjoy working with it. It also features 4 USB ports and onboard VGA engine that supports 4X AGP. Now, enjoy all features from AOpen MX36LE-U motherboard.

If the techno-babble is to be believed, then this board is severly overclockable (which is a bonus).

If you get it before I do- let me know how it goes :)

I haven't seen that one yet, I you do get it let me know. I would be interested in the outcome of that board.

Thanks,
 
DFI has a very nice micro i815 board with all the features you desire. Don't use Via unless speed and stability are not concerns.

The CS35 is the 815e version (integrated video as well as AGP slot) while the CS32 series is 815ep (no integrated video).
