Loving the looks of the case!

The Blue light looks cool!

I think it looks very nice!

And definitely loving blue lights here!

I actually really like your case. For some reason your system does look pimped, but it kinda even looks period-correct as well even though it's easy to see some of the parts are newer.

Definitely like how you maxed your rig, especially the RAM. It even reminds me of the rigs Artex has build and he sure has an eye for visual delight (even though some might see it as over the top 😜).

It's difficult to see, but your PSU seems like an FSP design of 300W.

What kind of slotket did you use? And how is XP BE now? I may have given it a go yeeaars ago but I didn't like all the extra stuff they put on it.

Only minor gripe I can see is the black optical drive 😜

Nicely done!

Thanks guys

I love the black drives in white cases, plus all my white drives are in bad shape or don't work properly.

Yep its FSP 300watt Caps are still good, almost new. I am a little unsure about the power supply though I don't know to much about them.

yeah RAM is a little over the top, but it was $10 for all four sticks and XP is a little thirsty. It show's the capabilities of what this board could do for its time.

I love XP BE its fast and its pre tweaked and I usually uncheck a few things from its list in setup and I also tweak a lot of things after setup like turning of system restore, print spooler, indexing services etc everything I don't use. When sitting in idle my RAM usage is at 134MB.

For the cpu I order these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tualatin-P-IIIs-1-4GH … Q0AAOxyRhBSxjSY The p3v4x is a little picky on the slocket adapter, im using a super slocket III adapter. You could use a power leap, but i would not recommend it was this board cause the volts are a little high with a power leap causing the caps on the power leap to explode. When the modded p3-s is paired with a slotket adapter the correct volts are displayed in the bios.

I just need to figure out how to add the cpu microcode to the bios.

Hi, I have a P3v4x aswell and I cannot get to boot a P3 800mhz atmo with my Abit Slotket 3 adapter. Could you guide me trough the bios settings when I insert the new cpu? I updated it to the nevest versions so I set 1.65v on the vcore as you said the v core can go up. what you mean by the board can be picky with slotket adapters?

I sold this motherboard about 4 years ago, but when i had it i had problems with all my other slotket adapters working on this board and make sure the jumpers on the board to jumperfree mode here is the manual https://www.asus.com/supportonly/p3v4x/helpdesk_manual/
