I thank you again for your assistance. I'll keep you posted to how things turn out. I have a site I think I'll purchase the Barebone from. It's [link]

If you have one better please inform. Thanks.

spend the extra few dollars and get either a pentium 4 or a pentium D, the D is especially a good deal with that package, dual core is really fast.

Celeron processors totally suck, they are slow and will never run well.

Well I did purchase the P4. I wasn't going with anything but that. This is what I place the order for and hopefully I'll be able to just transfer my hard drives to this unit.

Intel Pentium 4 506 2.66GHz, (533 FSB) 1024K Socket 775
Cooler Master Socket P4 775 Heavy Duty fan
ECS P4M800PRO (Dual Core), Onboard Video, DDR & DDR2, SATA, Sound
256Mb PC 3200 DDR400


What do you think about this setup?

I'm not an ECS fan, but otherwise it's pretty good for that price.

I would have gone with either an asus or gigabyte board personally, or maybe an Intel 945.

I really did consider the Gigabyte MotherBoard too. I was doing some research on them, and a friend recommended Gigabyte as well as ECS. I don't know to much about the other board you mentioned. I still plan on rebuilding the other case, and i'll go W/ the Gigabyte board for thay one with a P4. I will build that from scratch.
