This computer will be my first documented full out mod.
I've got the case mod pretty much knocked out sketch-wise (sketches and possibly pictures up by this weekend I promise!) and am getting down to the not-so-fun stuff (to me anyway)--picking the mobo/cpu. And this is where I need the collectives help.
A few things to keep in mind:
All they will be using this system for is playing games like Windows pinball, solitare, Scrabble and a few others that don't really require major graphics.
Music could come into the picture (especially if they decide to go online), so I'm thinking either onboard audio or maybe a decent sound card.
I'm personally a fan of AMD, although their current system is a P4 1.4 ghz IIRC (my old gaming system before I built 'Blue').
I'm ballparking around $500-600 for the guts, so to speak.
Suggestions?
