    Drezha - That sucks dude, is it Asus?

    The shuttle was a shuttle system Which looks great. But I do have some plans for the case ;)

    I see no point in chucking away brand new and perfectly working pieces of hardware, so I'm sticking the parts into a Socket 754 Mobo. Which will be either an Asus or MSI one.
    Not sure which one yet.
    Think probably the cheaper of the two.

    get the nVidia 250, nVidia 250 Gb or the Via K8T800 Pro chipsets (unless you're going integrated graphics or pci-express). Otherwise there's no AGP-lock and that sucks. It keeps my Athlon64 from going beyond 2.2 GHz. I'm too lazy to buy another mobo, mind you.

    Went for the MSI one.

    Considering I'm not overclocking, I didn't need AGP lock.

    Besides the Asus one was PCI-e and that would have meant buying a new PCI-e card rather than stick with my current aging nVidia 5200FX. Besides, it's a Skt754..you don't have much choice

    Got the e-mail that my replacement RMA'd mobo for my 5200+ is finally on its way back from NewEgg. Perhaps by the weekend I'll have another cruncher going.

    Q3 I think, but don't quote me on that.
