Do you think the Antec Aria would handle an Athlon 64 system?

If I use the onboard audio to reduce power consumption, so I just have a decent midrange video card like a 6600, and my Compro TV/FM tuner, 1HDD and my NEC DVD burner, I should be ok. Foxconn makes the only nForce 4 socket 939 MicroATX mobo I've seen. Can I get some suggestions?

I have this one and its nice and all, but I have the Aria sitting here on the floor unused, and its a really cool case. I think I'll leave my current gear in the case I'm using now, and sell it to recoup some of the expenditure for my new system. Whaddya think?

Why not just sell the Aria and get an Aspire X-Qpack?

From the customer reviews at NewEgg, people are apparently putting 6800 in there and the power supply and cooling seem quite adequete.

The Aria has been hacked on by my dad when he had it, so I don't want to sell it for worry about problems.

I do like the Aspire however. But, like I said I have the Antec right here! All I need is the mobo, CPU, and a decent midrange card and I'd be set...

Bump. Selfish, I know, but I need a few more opinions...

I'm using one running an A64 3400 Clawhammer and an X800XT AGP card with zero issues whatsoever for over 6 months now; great little system

Should be just fine.

running a shuttle st20g5 a64 3200+ s939 venice core ati x800xl power issues are fine. edit: that is a 240w psu.

Crizzar: What motherboard are you using? I'm looking at the Foxconn but it has limited OC ability - just adjustable FSB and memory timings. Does anybody know anything about this mobo? It gets decent reviews at newegg, might just have to give it a try....
