Hi guys,
saw these, thought the prices were reasonable...
http://www.compgeeks.com/products.asp?Cat=MBB#CPU & Motherboard Combos
Onboard, vid and lan microATX mobos, with CPU and HSF.
XP2000 and 2200 are tbreds, 2500 is barton. these are used CPUs so are older stock, if you're lucky they are unlocked. The tbreds might be As but they'd still clock a little better than pallys, you can squeeze 2G out of them whereas most pallys you had to get extreme to get to 1.8-1.9 You'll probably need to get down and dirty with wire tricks or conductive paint to get the most out of them on these mobos, but you needed a challenge right?
Anyhoo, take a lookie, if it looks good to you, get it, if it don't, don't. Throw in some cheap RAM and some boot device and off you go.
regards,
Road Warrior
