ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: As stated in the usage section, this is only for office applications. The PC it is going in is a Dell Dimension B110. After a power outage the other day, the PC fails to power up at all (no fans, beeps, etc...) and the MB has been identified as the culprit. I just need a recommendation for a good MB/CPU combo to get that will fit the Micro-ATX case. I was planning on using the same RAM, but as GhislainG suggested, it's really not worth it. I'll also need a heatsink/fan if the MB doesn't come with one.

Thanks for the reply. The RAM isn't a major issue since it's pretty cheap now. I've also been considering a bare-bones system and scavenging the dead PC's drives. The budget for the replacement parts/bare-bones is about $200.

Thanks for the info Outlander. This PC belongs to my parents and they only do office stuff with it so they don't need the best out there. As far as the Dell version of XP goes, I'll have to look into that.

If the OS boots up it will sometimes not activate online, just call the phone number and talk to MS, i've never had them turn down a case like this for activation.
