It was very easy to overclock early Celeron processors to perform better than Pentiums...but what about using more than one?

I always wanted a Lian Li case, too, but I could never justify the price. Instead I got a full ATX tower that is the same one with the locking front door in the ad in ivory. I'm sure that it weighed twice as much empty as the PC-60 with a motherboard, power suppy, and drives installed. It also had feet that would rotate 90° out from underneath the case to provide greater stability.

Lian Li cases are great. I have two modern ones (one with a system. i.e. this one, in it and the other vacant, the one I left for the current one lol. This was an interesting watch... I really wish I could have seen you get SMP working.. .Damnit Intel. lol.

I've got a Dell PowerEdge 2200, a dual pentium 2 server with a 440FX chipset. you're welcome to borrow it if you'd like.

I had a variant of that Supermicro board. While it was not my first dual socket machine that I had (first was a dual Pentium 100 server with an Intel board), but it was one that I had most fun with. I paired it with one of the Supermicro super tall ATX cases and filled the thing up. I later replaced it with a dual P4-based Xeon system and eventually moved away from desktops.

Interesting that I just so managed to obtain a similar Lian Li case, though in a mini tower variant, also had the problems with brittle clips - it's a fancy modded specimen (extra 4 fan mounts drilled in) even!
