I got it from a comp store in Pacific mall called MingTech, itz small and crappy, but itz cheap, thatz all that really matters.... The XP CPU i got from em is pretty high quality, i'm running it @ 1.57Ghz right now with a crappy Alpha 6035 and 1.825v, max mem settings.

The nForce board is nice if you're gonna use the MX board on it.... but itz really damn slow if you plan on runnin Q3 or any newer games..... Itz quite cheap tho considering itz got all that other stuff intergrated, but most DYI ppl have lotz of the extra stuff lying around anyways (Nics, soundcards)

I actually plan on using the on board sound, as it's better then what I have now (Supposedly it's a 5.1, I have the older SB PCI 128). As for video, I'm moving over my Radeon 64mb DDR as well. Just very interested to see how it benches!

the iwillxp333-r is kinda like ati
it 'sounds' good on paper
but in reality it is not due to limitations in the hardware/software
plus it's based on the Ali Magic 1 chipset, NOT the KT266A chipset from VIA
you will find out how bad that board is when you try it
i too was excited when i first got it, on the spec sheet it sounded like a Dream, but a Dream it was not

How much did you make off it?
And where are you selling an entire rig that lets you feel secure about the transaction?
Oh yeah, and didn't you have another system besides the dual proc system?

Unless they fixed the problems in your revision, which is possible i guess
You are getting revision 2.1 which is the absolute latest and fully supports AXP's
Mine is revision 2.0 and does not correctly support AXP's, However I just used a regular 1.4Ghz T-bird anyways.
I guess you'll find out
Memory bandwith on mine was NOT very fast at all, with max memory timmings, and there were NOT a whole lot of options to change memory timming wise
