Looking for advice on a decent motherboard, case/power supply, and processor. I've always been an Intel guy but I'm not against going AMD. I'd like those three items to be under $500 if possible, I'm not looking for top of the line, but certainly decent.
I'm currently using a p4 2.6 gHz machine.
Things that are important to me are USB 2, Firewire, ability to hold at least 3 drives/2 cd rom, decent bus speed and all that shit that makes the i/o work fast.
I can build a PC just fine, but I'm not up on all the technologies and manufacturers. If anyone can post links directly to products I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks in advance for any help.
