4.0 out of 5 stars A nice system - breeze to setup at a low cost, October 11, 2002

By	Michael Nelson "Programmer" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a good solid system, if you're looking for an good simple way to upgrade your old CPU/motherboard for little money. I like the design of the chassis and the motherboard. Nice big power button. A solid chassis that is designed well and gives you enough room to make it easy to open up and install components.

I was a little disappointed though that the power connector wasn't already plugged into the main board and the power switches, chassis lights and front USB ports were not connected when I got it out of the box. Basically the mother board and the power supply were connected to the chassis but none of the connecting wires were attached. But it wasn't too big deal a to go through the little manual and see how to hook everything up. Only took me 20-30 minutes to hook it all up, but it would have been nice to have that already connected when I got it.

I was able to take my old components out of my old system and drop it in here without any problems (hard-drive, memory, CD drive, 3D graphics card, sound card, network card). I then installed Win XP with no problems.

It's been running smooth as silk for a few weeks now, no problems at all.

This motherboard even breathed new life into my old sound card (Audigy Vortex2) which wouldn't always work on my old 3 year old motherboard and would sometimes lock up the machine with some newer games. Now I have sound in those games without getting a new card!
