Hey, I've been looking at some more stuff, the P4R800-VM is newer I think, it comes with the ATI 9100 chipset. Seems otherwise the same as the P4P800, wait, I guess it doesn't have SATA. I don't have SATA drives but I suppose the option is nice...the board is about 30 dollars cheaper though. No over...

Sorry, forgot to mention that I'm moving my current system into this. I already have a P4 2.4C, 2x512MB RAM, 2x40GB HDs, DVD-RW/+RW dual layer, and a 6600GT AGP. I've been looking at the P4P800-VM, it's probably what I'll end up with. I'm trying to keep this as low-cost as I can, which is why I'm no...

Thanks for the information too, anyone have any hands on/personal experience with either of these? Nick ...

SB65G2 or Aria with 6600GT

Wondering if this setup is going to be alright on the PS of either of these. The Aria is definitly the cheaper way for me to go (I already have a tower, I'm looking to move it into a SFF, so I need either a Shuttle with S478 or a Shuttle). I guess you guys will probably already know the PS stats for...
