Aren't the Celeron, PII and PIII all different slots? If so then you're
already locked into what ever mobo you bought.
Personally I prefer the AMD K6-2 and K6-3's. They use cheap socket-7
mobo's and really kick shorts.
SCSI hd's ?? why? I suppose it all depends on what you're going to do with
them and even then I'm not sure I could justify the price. I'd stick with
a Maxtor hdd any day (found a 40G for under $300 U.S., now that's cheap).
