I have decided to build another PC since my first build went so well a few months ago. I have 4 computer now that I actively use, but only one is custom built. (see sig)

My others are below. They're compaq's so please don't flame me too hard. :)

Compaq 5wv280
AMD Athlon Thunderbird 900MHZ,
GeForceti200 64MB
Sound Blaster Live
512MB RAM
30GB HD
70GB HD

Compaq 5441 (wife uses this one)
AMD K62 475MHZ
64MB memory
8GB HD
17GB HD
Onboard audio/video

Compaq Deskpro (got this one from my old job for free)
Pentium 3 667MHZ
Haven't looked at other specs yet, I don't know what I plan to with it yet.

Anyway here is my plan, I plan to move my Athlon board and processor into the 5441 that my wife uses keeping the same case and all. Then I plan to rebuild the 5wv280 as either a A64 or P4 still using the same case. Both of the compaq cases are microATX, so do any of you have any suggestions on a good mATX board? Also would you recommend going with another A64 or a P4? Thanks

Price wise I don't want to spend more than lets say $90 for a mobo. Not looking for another kick ass system, just something that is a pretty big step up from the Athlon Thunderbird and one that will handle games pretty well.
