Hi Folks

Further to my last message I went to Ebuyer.com and picked out some stuff :) 

I have googled for any linux problems and don't think i found anything except 
a bios security flaw with the motherboard, which only affects a physical 
presence in front of the machine, which isn't important.
The components I am thinking off are:

ECS K7S5A-L SKT A ATX DDR/SDR Audio and LAN Motherboard - On board sound, I 
think AC97. How does linux handle on board sound and LAN? I couldn't find any 
problems. planning on using my 320MB PC133 RAM


AMD ATHLON XP2000+ 266MHz FSB Thoroughbred - OEM

Coolermaster HAC-V81 XDream Heatsink & Fan SKT A Upto Xp2800 Speed Adjustment 
- Less than a tenner, cant be bad :) recommended Fan


PcChips Sis315 64MB SDRAM AGP x4 TV-Out Video Card - �18.99 - according to a 
review, better than a GE force 3. I have a voodoo1 which could do with being 
upgraded anyway


Seagate Barracuda 80Gb 7200rpm UDMA100 Hard Drive - OEM - �54.99 Fantastic 
price - I already have a 40 gig one, but for capturing Video especially in 
SVCD mode, I will need the space.

Total including delivery �179.80

Fantastic for the money.

Looking for anyone else's viewpoint. I cant seem to see any problems, and am 
ready to order, but just thought I would ask here in case anyone can offer 
any advice re problems

Thanks in Advance
