I recently ordered the barebones package (linked below, in the rich text file) for $68.99 delivered, as a "tinker with" first-timer system build. Well, I've already figured out to avoid the included PowMax 480W PSU. I have a Fortron 300W to replace that, thanks to help from folks on these forums (and ordered through TG, too). And as I research the included ECS L4VXA2 mobo, I'm thinking it will likely be more trouble than happiness.
Could I have a recommendation for a reliable and steady, yet budget-friendly, ATX mobo that will support a 2.8 GHz P4 socket478 533fsb 512K (Northwood) and which has an Intel chipset, an AGP 3.0 (8x) slot, and two IDE controller ports, and onboard 10/100 Ethernet RJ-45 support? Thanks for your recommendation. I am OK with a slightly older but reliable board -- I don't need 800fsb support, nor SATA. Thank you! Rich Text File below:
