[Pc_Support] MB/CPU combo for general office use

[Tim McDonough]

I'm looking for recommendations on a good deal for motherboard and CPU 
combos for general office type applications.

Need a built-in LAN and video. I have accumulated up 3 ATX machines 
with motherboards that have various maladies such as dead video, dead 
LAN ports, etc. I'd like to refurb them and be able to use them for 
interns and part time help. No exotic apps, just basic word processing 
and maybe some spreadsheet work along with one app for our truck 
system that has low demands. The machines will use WinXP Pro.

With most things electronics the rule is "Fast, Reliable, Inexpensive. 
Pick any two". I need reliable and inexpensive. Quiet would be a plus.

Thanks for any pointers.
