I read about the Foxconn mobo on Tom's Hardware in a comparsion against
a bunch of other mobos..it seemed to hold it's own and was even at the
front of the pack...
As for the vidcard...I just don't need a super fast or expensive
card...it will go to waste while driving up the power requirements of
the system. However, if there is something better for now much more,
I'd like to get that. I think teh 8800 is out of the question at 4 bills.
I can't seem to find a x1950xt on newegg for some reason...

Not too sure of the wisdom in getting a $300 C2D for a low end Foxconn
mobo and HD2600Pro GPU. The AMD X1950XT is far superior except for the
less advanced AVIVO or spend more and get a Geforce 8800 GTS 640. I
believe nVidia's 650/680 chipsets also support that CPU's FSB. XP Pro
is definitely the way to go for compatibility and gaming.

I'm probably going to get XP or Vista ultimate (probably XP).
Is this case good enough? What about that vidcard? I don't play
games that much, but would like to be able to.
Is the stock fan / heat sink good enough? I generally don't overclock.
Did I forget anything?
