Compaq has always sucked and they have always bee a
little proprietary. I gave up on them in 1987. Only when I was
forced to support Compaq for a client did I even touch one after that. If
only Carly had talked to me... :-)
Important question: Is it necessary to
configure the BIOS in some cases for Myth?

I think one of the Compaq high-end machines uses a Silverstone
case.
It shouldn't be surprising that readymade PCs generally have the
cheapest available motherboard, case, PSU etc.
I actually briefly
capitulated and bought a Compaq Presario Desktop. It was decent value, but the
machine is not real fast. The BIOS is not configurable, the memory runs with
way too many waits (slow), the motherboard graphics (VIA Unichrome) are very
slow (esp. compared with the Intel Extreme Mobo graphics) and suck at running
the X screensaver GL stuff.
I think I'm back to putting my own stuff
together again.

The
Silverstone LC-03 I have fits a standard ATX motherboard. I forget
what
size PSU I put in, but I know it was more than
240.
