Not bad, but its not a spectacular deal. I don't know if that's a good motherboard either, might wanna check some reviews.

Board looks good from one review I saw, but don't take my word for it ;)

Depends on how good you are with computers.. The tech support is nice but other than that nothing special. Personally I don't know anything about the board, t-brid 850 is nice but you could probably build your own system with those specs or maybe a little better for around the same price though without the support.

MSI K7T (or is it KT7) pro 2 - $106
Tbird 900 - $150
Enlight 300w case - $62
Teac floppy - $15
heatsink (FOP 32-1) - $25
shipping - ?

prices from www.mwave.com except the heatsink which is from www.millisec.com
That'll probably save you a couple bucks...

Actually you can find a tbird 850 for around $105 on pricewatch
