Cases.....motherboards

I've been following your review of cases and a possible change in mind
of motherboard (atleast for your high end Super G).

There is new design besides ATX cases. I can't remember the name off hand. ESC states that a lot of their customers really like the Asus cases.

As far as power supply, I'm still pretty impressed with PC Power and Cooling hardware and fans.

I'm not technical enough to do over clocking, but thanks for alerting others of the dangers.

S.W.

[overclocking]
zeuspaul, overclocking works really great, at least for me. i do overclocking for 1 year right now and have no probs at all.
my asus t2p4 board runs at a bus speed of 83 Mhz, no probs with my matrox cards, scsi controller, hard disk and network card. no probs with nt/win95/win98.
of course there is no guarantee that overclocking works, so you actually cant 'plan' it. my advice is to start with an old system and do some experimenting. i would like to cite thomas pabst:
Although there are millions of tales of damaged CPUs and other system components, in most cases overclocking is completely harmless. There are, however, a few things to take into consideration.
whoever is interested in overclocking should read:
