Thats the motherboard spec sheet linked above. I bought it off ebay with an included 1.2ghz celeron and 128mb ram:

ok, i payed $42.50 for the board plus extras and $18.00 shipping and handling…good deal?..or total ripoff?
His current system is an e-machines 660mhz, 128mb RAM. But from what i’ve read about their boards they have alot of negative issues…his computer crashes alot, and he has to reformat his hardrive all the time because he doesn’t have an included OS, he just has a system format/restore disk and then installs windows ME. His case is very small, thats why i went for this micro ATX mobo, looks like it will fit his case perfectly and give him a massive upgrade in performace…
Now as for the PSU…i’m not so sure about it, there is nothing on the spec sheet that tells me required voltage so if anyone has any advice on that, well please share it.
Tell me what you think guys…i know i’m building low end sytems here, but i’m poor, and all these systems i’m building are massive upgrades from the system i had for 3 years (dell dimension xps d333, 333mhzcpu (etc)
