Having looked into it over the last week I keep seeing the Asus CUSL2-C pop
up as a good choice. I'd be looking at the 815-EP version without the on
board Video, and putting in my own video card (which I haven't started to
decide on yet! Oh dear). Might even look at the new Black Pearl edition of
this board, although I haven't seen any pricing here in Australia yet! I'll
be going with tthe PIII-933 for sure I think! Fits into the budget and seems
effective for price/performace!
Thanks for the advice Lars!
Cheers
Matt
