Which Motherboard

[Darken Sun]

Im building a new computer, and, since I often travel around with my comp(please dont say just buy a laptop), Im going to build one in an xbox case. The main problem here is that I need a decent motherboard with onboard 5.1 surround sound and 10/100 LAN, and 800mhz fsb that will fit in the Xbox case and supports a 3.0ghz processor. I was looking at a Mini-ITX mobo, but then i saw that it only had 533/400fsb and only 1 RAM slot. Any suggestions would be much appreciated

After some quick searching, I would have to say, don't use an xbox.

Couldn't have said it better myself

or you could just get one of those hella fast laptops theyve come out with? dell and voodoo and some other company released some pretty nice gaming ones, which were pretty friggen powerful for laptops (ran far cry at highest settings with a decent res), but they still got pretty warm on the top. if thats not what ur looking for, then there are tons of other options...i dont see why an xbox would give you an advantage.

P.S. I remember some ad in Pc gamer for a computer called a "frag box" that was built for lan parties and it was pretty compact and had a nice handle and everything. might wanna check that out, instead of making one in an xbox.

well, the fragbox is a nice computer and all, but is WAY out of my price range. same for laptops. Besides, all i need for a new comp is the mobo, processor and case. basically what i want to do is this, just with better parts and to use as my desktop. And the reason i want to use an xbox case is because its really cheap($10 on ebay) and I like how it looks, and my philosophy is if you dont like what your using looks like, then you can never really be happy with it.
