Hi all,
I've been looking for an affordable XPC chassis/mobo for a while; yesteray I've seen this one (IWILL XP4-G) for under $200 and wonder if it's any good?
I see from the IWILL website that it supports 533FSB P4's/Celerons & PC2700 DDR, and has free AGP slot for expansion to bypass onboard graphics. Pretty much all the things I'd like to have included. Pricewise, compared to similarly equipped Shuttle's XPC's, this is almost 50% cheaper (Shuttles go around $360), and so I wonder if there are any catches, cooling problems, power supply problems, noise, or anything else one should be aware of before purchase.
thx for advice

...I just noticed that it has a single DIMM slot only, what is somehow a catch, since you need to buy at least 512MB PC2700 DIMM (1GB would be better, but price difference between 512MB DIMM and 1024MB DIMM is huge).
