Where are you located? You could try...

http://www.komplett.co.uk

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/

I'm in Ireland, and Komplett is so much cheaper than anywhere else. Overclockers have loads of silent fans, aluminium cases, etc, though I think they're slightly more expensive.

There are plenty of good motherboards around, though if you're getting the XP2400 I'd get one of the new nForce 2 boards, which are getting great reviews everywhere. I've got an Abit KT7A RAID board for my 1.4Ghz and it's grand, though when I can spare the cash I'll get an nForce.

Si.

Go for tried and tested components over bleeding edge shit. You're after a machine that doesn't crash, and if you have to sacrifice a little bit of performance then so be it.

Yes, supposedly they'll offer some distinct advantages. But there may be hangups. The memory bus is unlike any other board that I know of. Sound and video are integrated - this can be a major pain in the ass if the BIOS isn't written intelligently. It's a new chipset and probably it hasn't been fully sorted yet. I would look at this option with extreme care.

When the Athlons first came out, I bought one of the earliest systems. I may have actually had the first one on DT

It was over a year before I found a card that would work with my early motherboard.

Lesson learned. Use stuff you know will work.

and I would STRONGLY advise against buying any "latest greatest" stuff...

be wise and let others be the beta testers while YOU get work done
