EDIT - This is now a Celeron based build, P3 processors aren't working in this board at all.
I skipped over the slot 1 stuff back when it was new, went straight from Socket 7 to Socket 370 so I think this could be a fun little project.
Planned Specs:
Intel Pentium 3 500mhz Slot 1 "Katmai" version
ECS P6BX-ME
768MB SD-RAM
Coolermaster Centurion 541 MATX Case
LG DVD-RW
Mitsumi 3.5" Floppy
Soundblaster AWE64
3Com 10/100 ISA NIC
Right now I'm waiting for the motherboard to come from an ebay auction. I'll post pics of the machine once it's put together.
Once the board shows up I'm going to use a Matrox graphics card for initial testing and OS install. After that I'm not sure what I'll do long term for graphics. I'm trying to find a Voodoo 3 AGP version for a decent price online but I'm not having any luck. Nothing available locally lately either. I might get a Banshee as they are way cheaper but I'm sure a V3 is much faster.
