I can make a few recomendations from recent experiences unless you really need to adjust the voltage, avoid the BH6 I would get the Soyo 6BA+ as it is a high quality board with 5 pci slots and 4 dimms at a decent price. Also I highly recomend Celerons.My 333a sometimes seems faster than my Dell PII400.And now there is a 400a Celeron for about 170$ As for back up I just got an HP 8100 CDRW at Buy.com for 289$ incl S&H It installed flawlessly and I've only messed up one disk so far {audio}.Also it reads at 24X. The only advantage to "store bought" systems is extended warranties. I started with a 999$ special at Circuit City 25 months ago and 3 computers later have the 333a, still on the original 999$ including monitor.A bit off the topic, I just got a Hauppauge WinTV tuner and its GREAT!I have it hooked up to a coat hanger and it works better than my roof mount.One last thing{promise!} get a 128mb CAS2 stick. It will last you thru future upgrades and the prices might be going up Sorry for the long post.JG
