Got links for the PIII mobos?



Adding a 32x for the space is an awesome idea.

Going with Pentium 3. Cooler, cheaper, and smaller.

I photshopped a rough plan, keeping everything in scale as much as I can. Here's what I've got:

(Blue Area shows the cut im making in the top of Sega CD / bottom of Genny)

Getting a 800Mhz P3, or even a 933Mhz. They poo all over the C3! 256k L2 compared to 64k

If I use low profile RAM, I should be able to fit the CDRW over the top. SInce the Mega CD is quite deep...

BTW, I did think of a 32x, but nah, don't need one. I'm replacing the controller ports with USB. And sawing a broken sonic cart in half, removing insides, and drilling holes into back, then glueing it into cart slot, act as a little vent. :lol:

Heh, I knew there are PIII mobos about 'the industry', I was wondering if you had a retail link.

They sell a few other small motherboards too.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't C3s run on P3 boards anyway?

Yeah they do.

But most of the mini-ITX boards have the C3 chips soldered on. And since they have naff all L2 cache, they're poor. I'd rather have a nice Skt370 which I can change CPUs, upto a 1.4Ghz Celeron/P3 if I ever find one.

(I just ordered the CPU now too, ordering main board / RAM on monday)
