Congrats Andrew!

>(sooooo nice!)

Looks like one of those Maximum PC's "Kick A**" products. (mental note: get 
one thunder k7 when I grow up)

>with linux?

No idea. But the stuff seems vanilla to me: no integrated (win) modem , no 
integrated (win)video card, no integrated (win)audio card. SCSI and network 
stuff is usualy safe to say that it works with Linux. Also, ATA-100 makes 
for a nice'n'cheap'fast software RAID controller.

>MSI doesn't have a comparable board yet

You only need one, AFAIK

>-Andy

BTW, I'm also in the process of getting some upgrade kit: Athlon+ MoBo + RAM 
+ nice case + nice fans. Recomendations on HW and on-line/live shopping 
centers? I'm looking for "stability first".



Salut,
Sinner
