that mobo was exactly what i was thinking
may i ask why the dvd burner was thrown in?
and design of the case don't matter, so ill find a cheap enlight case with psu
and of course windows is only 80$, do you suggest plain xp? or a differant form of xp?
**edit**
its kinda hard to find a case that is micro atx w/ good psu

about how many watts should i look for?
