I'm running 2 K7 systems, both are great. My new one has an asus A7V motherboard with a duron (the processor slot config allows for upgrading later). I was very impressed by the A7V, it has lots of goodies like 'wake on LAN', lots of hardware feedback, and BIOS settings to control all the fans. the case has 250 watt power supply - I've had no trouble and it flies like a bat out of hell. my only regret is that a more expensive case would have a power supply that can have its fan shut down by the motherboard when it's not needed. I would say don't skimp on the case or the motherboard, you can use these for years while you upgrade everything else.
