Well, I have two computers, an AMD Thunderbird 800MHz that functions as
my all-round server.. then I have my AMD desktop... which functions as
a backup radiator.

If I find a C7 is not what I hoped for then I guess it can fill my
server's role. The server only has RAM, HDD, Creative SBLive, S3 Virge,
and two SIS900 devices. I think I can't go wrong with the C7 though, it
looks like what I've always wanted. If I happen to go wrong, then I can
always use it at work as a replacement for a mega router, I have some
USB ethernet interfaces, should be interesting, or I could scrounge an
intel quad port interface...

Thanks for all the help. I just want to feel like I'm not making the
global warming problem any worse than it is.
