ASUS are hard to get in Australia. I've been working with Y-Micro on parts selection for our systems, and have come up with a combination I'm very happy with. Basically, you want a Soyo Triton-based motherboard (they have a PB cache model, but I don't have pricing on PB modules yet) with a P120 and ASUS SC-200 SCSI controller. They also carry #9, so pick a card that suits your budget 8) We have a number of these machines (P100 & P120) and they're very solid. Y-Micro are generally pretty good to deal with too, certainly we've always had excellent support & v. quick warranty turnaround. > -George If you need more details, contact me directly. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"
