The Genius Lan cards GF100TX4 work beautifully. Don't buy an Albatron motherboard if it claims to have a 3com NIC in it because they are not 3com chips in their nic and create huge hassles to get running. Wheel mice are harder to get running than standard three button versions but the optical mice run fine. No idea about USB mice. As for motherboards ... DDR ram etc is fine, the faster the better in my opinion.
