other than some of the parts being a little bit older, that's not a bad machine. I find once you get a chip with the 133 FSB you see more improvement.

yeah, lol thats gonna be tough to beat!

I built the 800 i used above for my kids ( i have three)

the 1200 i am in the process of building now , i have the kt7a-raid board and 2 more 128 mb sticks of the mushkin cas 2 rev 3 memory as it was cheaper to buy 4 128 modules ( $399.00 including shipping and tax) than one at a time $ 113 each,
and the motherboards i saved a few bucks buy buying two at a time, i really bought 4 of em. he he

for cooling im thinking about a peltier or something, thats what everyone ive spoken to has suggested, i dont know anything about them but i bookmarked a few places to go back and research, that and i read grizzly's post on cooling his chip......sorry griz 8<

anyway its going to be fun to research and build , i will let ya know via some new posts when i find something kooooooooool,
sorry couldnt resist.
