Hello All,
Missed the last 3,000 or so posts, doesn't anyone on this thread work? :-)
WHEW it has been busy!
Well the most recent additions to my system are the obscenely enjoyable Matrox 4-port 2D / Quantum Obsidian 24X Dual-VooDoo2 3D, video cards outputing to 3 Viewsonic PS790s (I am saving the 4th port for a 21' or flat, and the recuperation of my bank account).
And giving me almost as much enjoyment are the Data-Stor (Aluminum) removable hard-drive enclosures, no hard-drive should be without one.
It's the simple things in life...
I put together a box for my neighbor, an overclocked 300a (no hitches, thank you jon@Minotaur).
I was so pleased with the end result I have recomended it to others and will and set-up three more boxes the same way.
Proposed System:

$115.00 Abit BX6 2.0 mother board (P III support)
