Decent cheap crack rack?

I am not an AMD user at all but I ran across this.

AMD 750 with mobo

For only $149. I am not sure of the power requirements or memory requirements, I've noticed some products proclaiming "Athlon-Approved" for memory and PSU.

It does seem like a good deal. But as a SlotA the upgrade path is very limited.
 
Good price if it's a decent board with Overclocking capabilities. Anybody ever heard of a MB manufacture named BCM? I can't find any info or web site for them... 😕
 
Looks like a good deal. Another site I've found that's got some nice prices (if you're looking for a Slot A pamobo) is www.computergeeks.com. They've got a deal on this mATX K7 board for about $40. With Athlons starting at <$50 on Pricewatch, looks like these are a good way to get a quick crack fix. 🙂

Edit: This board looks like an MSI so finding support probably wouldn't be a headache.

Actually BCM is really a good maker of premium motherboards. I have built some machines with them and have had no problem with them. They mostly make boards for other companies that put there name on them. They are a little high priced though.
