I have that system and a few others in my home lab..
Some thoughts.
1. With the Abit BH6, you might experience some IRQ setting problems *if*
    you fill up all the slots... keep that in mind. The board is,otherwise,
good.
2. Overclocking with this board means FSB settings "other" than 66 and 100.

    Those "other" settings overclock the PCI bus... and each peripheral.
So,
    at 66 FSB setting, absolutely nothing is being overclocked. At 100Mhz
FSB
    setting, only the CPU is overclocked in the sense that it is "supposed"
to
    be 66 FSB set.  *BUT* the core of the 300a is similiar, if not
Identical, to
    a standard PII (and there are numerous proofs and displays of this at
    http://www.dejanews.com/...  so at 100 Mhz FSB you are just 'gray')
3. NT seems to be particular about controllers and HDs... more so than
Novell.
4. As someone mentioned, for the MCSE tests, you will need to have several
    machines and OS... I've got NT4, NW4.11 and NW5 and Linux... all on
    a DX33 with a 500mb HD (NOT!)....
    But get a good SCSI controller "if" that is the way you are going, the
latest
    drivers for it... and a decent HD. Speed there isn't so important, you
     aren't going to be calling the system that much...
5.  For NT, 64 MBs of RAM is bottom line, you might  want 128.
6.  Novell runs fine on 64.
7.  Remember that certain 300a CPUs won't overclock, guess the lucky 80%
do.

Have fun.
