My desktop is slowly becoming a beast of a computer and a pain to haul around. So I was thinking about building something based off of a micro-ATX board for going to LAN parties. Something light and relatively fast and most of all cheap. Plus I would like to build another computer for fun.
I'm thinking -
Athlon - 2000+ or so - Not a Celeron I can tell the difference when I play on a Celeron
Something other than a Sis or Via chipset
AGP - 8x would be nice but 4x would work just fine
Overclocking isn't out of the question
On-board sound and USB - I've got enough LAN cards I don't need any on-board LAN
I'm looking at an ASUS A7N266-VM that might fit the bill, but I thought you guys would have some input
