And the questions:
The case comes with a 200 watt Sparkle PSU, think that'd be enough for just the stuff in the system, like, only one hd, one cd drive...?
Do you think that mobo would get the 2500+ FSB to 200? That's one of the big things, it needs to be able to go to 200.
The mobo would be able to support that ram, right?
Is there another micro atx mobo out there that's better for the price? Onboard audio is a big deal, as is the onboard video. I believe for what he's doing the video will be sufficient, and I've heard the audio is good.
