Hello,
Hope this helps:
>PCI SCSI card Doesn't need to be blazingly fast; scsi-3 is >fine
The NCR 875 would be a good choice. Adaptec 2940W works very well,
barring unforseen BIOS changes.
>PCI ethernet card Some 100-meg card that works well and >efficiently
Intel EtherExpress.
>Video card Cheaper card; won't be used much
Something inexpensive based on an S3 chip would be good.
Alternative, Trident.
>Motherboard Not sure how much say I'll have here but.. ~P2-300
The ABIT LX6 or the Tyan 1692, I would think. Unless you prefer a
board that would go beyond PII333, in which case you would need a BX chip
board like the ABIT BX6.
Kedar.
