[Pc_Support] Want to sell: Antec SX1000 case + Biostar M7VIW mainboard

[Bryan J. Smith]

Little Socket-462 "bare bones" kit that would I sell ultra-cheap (like
under $50).  I'm hoping to get back to Orlando later in the month, it's
been difficult with the hours I've been working (I've been flying my
wife up for the summer).

In a nutshell, I'm converting my wife to MicroATX, taking the CPU, DDR
memory, etc..., so I have this case + mainboard already mounted.  We can
talk power supplies (I believe I have the original Antec 400W that came
with it in the SX1040).

[ I can get you all the 80mm fans you want, and I think several should
be replaced for age. ]

Some M7VIW highlights:  

- ViA KT266A / VT8235 combo

The VT8235 is a very bug-free southbridge, most KT266-333 series ship
with older VT8233 which had many issues -- I have not had any issues
under any Linux (started with Red Hat Linux 9 / kernel 2.4.9).  This
mainboard was clearly designed as an "upgraders" board (see next two
items for the reason), and came out when the KT333/KT400 were actually
the "latest'n greatest."

- _Both_ SDR (168-pin) SDRAM and DDR (184-pin) SDRAM

I have used _both_ SDR and DDR in it -- started out with cheap (2) 256MB
SDR and upgraded to (2) 512MB DDR more recently.  I still have the SDR
around if you don't have your own, but I figured you might already have
your own PC100/133 or, possibly, DDR200/266 (PC1600/PC2100).

- CPU support:  200/266MHz FSB, Athlon through 1.4GHz, Athlon XP2600+

I personally have the Athlon XP2600+ (2.13GHz) in it and it is
_officially_ supported (I've already upgraded to the last BIOS).  In the
end, probably any 200/266MHz FSB Athlon/Duron is supported in it,
including the XP2800+/266MHz, but the official BIOS support is only
through XP2600+/266MHz.  This board is built so it can recycle PC100/133
memory (as well as let you upgrade to DDR later), hence the use of the
"older" KT266A chipset (even at the time it came out) and limitations to
200/266.

It is mathematically impossible for someone who makes more than you

will also penalize you similarly (to those below you, and then below
them).  Linear algebra, let alone differential calculus or even ele-
mentary concepts of limits, is mutually exclusive with US journalism.
So forget even attempting to explain how tax cuts work.  ;->
