Yes it is, but the setup is rather painful, as you will see if you read the
whole thing:
The CPUs are rather "old", so the best are around 60€ top (couldn't find
them brand new though).
Yes, mine runs with one CPU. I have some rare Xorg crashes I have to
identify, but for the most part, I have enough room with one.
By ATX, I guess it is. Better check the manual for this kind of info.
About the PSU, I don't remember, better check my threads on this forum about
that board.

I got an Nvidia GPU on it. I get DVI output.
I didn't check power consumption, I don't know how yet.
The mainboard in itself can't be noisy AFAIK, but the fans can definitely be.
The workaround I found was (besides using a low noise CPU fan setup) to use
hardware knobs that reduce the power fed to the fans, thus reducing noise
(it's called a rheobus, and it should come with hardware probes that aren't
too precise, but will do for temp monitoring).
You're welcome !
It's roughly twice as powerful as an X2OO CPU-wise, and and the GPU is of
course much better.
The noise level with my setup makes it similar, even a bit lower maybe.
And My X200 had periods when the heat was too much.
So regardless of the time and sweat it took, I'm happy with it.
