I've used this rig only a few times since new. The asrocks were around $50 new. I also have used the ECS K7s5a which has held up well. I went ahead and performed the chipset modification by pulling off a insulation taped cooling radiator block and glueing it back into place with a dash of Artic Silver for effect (this was on the southbridge chip and prevented overheating). If you are aware, many of the Athlon cpu chips are shipped with this adhesive tape between the cooling block. Either of these two mobos are ebay priced reasonable.

Sounds great...absolutly great. I, unfortunatly, don't have a dual core system (I think it's about 1.6 gig, single core amd 64)and 1 gig of ram. It's on the verge of being OK, but on the higher layer patches, it causes some glitches in the system. I could probably live with it if it was for me, but I'm hoping to put together a rig that I can advetise as an alternative to studio's with a real piano, and right now, I'm afraid my computer isn't quite up to that task.

I find that for most TV viewing, our 27" TV in the family room is fine (especially with surround audio attached), but what we really want the big screen for is movies. This fall, I decided to build a Home Theater in the basement to accomplish this. I quickly realized that Plasma, LCD, DLP, CRT, etc, technolgies were way too expensive for the type of screen I wanted, so I ended up getting a modest DLP projector (Optoma H31) which is mounted to the ceiling and projecting down on a 92" screen I built myself out of floor molding and blackout cloth. This setup takes up a wall in the basement and provides a true movie theater experience for us. To handle the sound, I migrat
