Hey Guys,
I am looking for an inexpensive motherboard to run 2 PIII Xeon 500 MHz Processors. It can definately be a used motherboard and I am looking at a price range of $150 or less. Keep in mind that I can buy it in a week or so. I just found 2 500 Xeon Processors for under $50 on ebay and this is just a fun project to toy with. Oh and I will definately run and learn linux on this machine.
Thanks,
Justin

Never mind, I only bought one PIII Xeon 500 MHz processor. So, what would be a good sub $100 motherboard (if possible).
I will still run linux though. The machine will mainly be used for encoding MPEG-2 video.

Just a thought, but last week one could get a Dell P4 2.4 for under $300.
Today it will cost you $400, but if you frequent site like fatwallet.com and techbargains.com you should be able to find some coupon codes for a few % off.

Of course this takes alot of the fun out of it.
