Soyo SY-7IWM/L v1.0 ATX mobo w/ 466MHz Celeron & built-in audio/video, case & 250W power supply. SKU #3015539

They had the same thing about a month for $20 more. My co. bought 10 of them then, and they seem to be OK despite their power supplies not being able to kick out the advertised standby power.

<< this was $20 a few weeks ago! >>

Of course, you do mean it was $20 *more* a few weeks ago, right? (Not an insane $20 deal?)

Also, anything for memory?
What did it take / cost / from where. Thx.

A warning about the Transworld power supply included with them:

Rated +5V standby current: 1.5 amps
Measured standby voltage at 0.7 amp: 3.9V (within 30 seconds)

In comparison, a cheap King Star, rated 1.0 amp standby, performed as follows:

Output standby voltage at 0.88 amp: 4.94V
Output standby voltage at 1.19 amp: 4.92V
