Motherboard : Intel (or compatible) chipsets are pretty well supported.. I've been successful wiht all three that i have. Sound : the onboard ones should be fine.. even if not.. opensound.com should work. HDD : I'm using SATA hard disk and works great. The onboard controller will work. If you have access to the motherboard before assemble.. just attach the (SMPS,monitor,keyboard,mouse,earphones) to the motherboard and plub in a Belenix USB and boot off if. You can usually OpenSolaris this way. Anil
