Hey Daniel how to contact Shark Computer for the Aopen... I only bought the Aopen mobo from Shark Computers sharkcomputers.com. I got the 300A from minotaur.com who is doing the complete assembly for me. Jon at Minotaur is a real pleasure to work with meaning he's highly flexible to meet your specific needs. He will test the celerons he sells to 450mhz for a $20 charge so you know the one you get has been successful at 450. He also provides details of the test i e voltage increases if any. Given the above I didn't check out the 300A at Shark. As of last week the Pricewatch price for the Aopen board at Shark was $167. Their website indicated $197. So if you order do it over the phone to insure getting the PriceWatch price. If the suspend to disk feature on the Aopen board is of importance to you, you should definitely take heed of Spots considerations in recent posts here. There appears to be certain system requirements involving your video and sound cards that must be met for that feature to work. See the Suspend to Disk Readme file at aopenusa.com before you commit. I now consider the Suspend to Disk feature to be in the ' may or maynot be available dependant upon specific component config of host system' catagory. ..How's that for techno-babble? <gg>. WARNING: I would highly recommend you do complete DD on the Aopen board given the fact that I am a Windows machine newbie and currently enduring a streak of very bad luck ..... I also really identified with George in the Seinfeld episode of 'always do the opposite of what you think' :-) Clarence
