64MB is a bit light IMHO, suggest you check earlier posts for case discussion and links (don't recommend enlight), also check earlier posts for CPU fan discussion (think tweakit site is one of several with objective fan cooling measurements) and see my prior post on HD (recommend the Deskstar). Also make sure the SDRAM is truly PC100, lot of rip offs occurring in mem these days. No mention of monitor and the vid card statement is ambiguous so not sure what is meant. Do recommend at least a current gen card such as voodoo2 if you already have a good 2D card. I believe the vid card is quite important since you want a high refresh and high res display that you will be viewing over extended periods of time. Makes a big difference in eye strain/eye relief. The other factor is the newer cards will perform with less processor load than older/low end cards. Asus MBs seem to run a pretty wide gamut from excellent quality to poor/fair. Seems they don't have good QE/QC. So its hit or miss with them. You either get a good one or a bum. Networm
