I am downgrading my full ATX monster to something with more onboard devices, I was going to go with a m-itx system, but since I like the current performance of my P3 1.26ghz cpu, I think I will stick with that.
Now, it's been so long since i've really dabbled in Socket 370 other than a few repairs. Any board suggestions that have onboard video and can do custom res? If not, no biggie, I can always use my agp card.
That brings up the second problem. I don't really have the time to build a enclosure (current system is mounted on a board in trunk). The big problem is that I could of course go and pick up a desktop matx case and call it a day, but since my dvd drive will be mounted up front, no floppy, and the psu with be a m2-atx, thats a lot of real estate that is just going to waste away.
Anybody built any good custom matx cases or no where to get one?
2000 Sunfire build 100%, or is it ever really 100%?
Grab some thin wood and build a case. use L braces to hold together. Mine is the length and width of an ATX board with the height of agp card. 1 blower case fan and 1 small case fan. Hard drive is strapped to lid and sits above RAM and CPU. Power supply strapped to outside back for heat reasons
