I'm building a system for a friend's business.. Keeping the cost low is a priority over performance (as long as it works..) I've been looking at this motherboard as an option, mainly because it's the cheapest one I can find and has a lot of onboard hardware which also bring the cost down:

The upside is it has onboard video and sound, so I don't have to get seperate cards for those.. The downside is that I'm always wary of onboard hardware.. Does anyone know if this chipset (VIA KM133) is reliable?
This chipset also has onboard modem and NIC capabilities, which I'm assuming are provided via a CNR card.. Does anyone know if this board comes with such a card, or where I can get one? Their site makes no mention of it being packaged with one, and they haven't replied to my email yet..
Any comments are welcome ..
