I have a couple Biostar M7VKQ based machines (Duron 1GhZ, built in sound/video/LAN). They're not speed demons by any stretch, but have worked fine for web and file serving. Their main advantage is price. You can put together a machine for about $250: Motherboard w/integrated video, sound, Duron 1GhZ -- $70 RAM 256M -- $50 30G HD -- $70 Case -- $25 Misc fans, etc -- $15 Options: CDROM -- $30 Floppy -- $15 Disadvantages: No AGP slot, only 2 RAM slots. I also have several ECS K7S5A and S5A-Pro boards that have worked flawlessly. They don't have integrated video so they're not as cheap overall as the M7VKQ's.
