for moms.

I think it will be decent rig for her and she'll adore the small cute red/black small form case. Is there anything I should know about these Systems? First time building of a small form...Overheating? Compatibility issues with the components below? I have spare HDDS & PC2100 RAM that will be added to the system.

ASPIRE X-QPACK-RD/420 Black/Red Aluminum MicroATX Desktop

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...A K8M800 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...Palermo 800MHz FSB Socket 754 Processor Model

Total: $230.42

Also, The Chaintech motherboard says it supports Athlon 64's and Semprons...Does this also include Sempron 64's...I'm pretty sure it does, but will it require a bios flash?
 
first and foremost is to change the psu in the qpack. And maybe a quieter 120mm fan w/ red led's to match the case :D
 
Is there something wrong with the PSU? I Will not be adding any high performance memory, GPU's, CPU's, HDDS...Just will be using onboard, IDE HD, 1 CD-ROM/CD,1 stick of 512 mb mem...it's for moms...she doesn't game. :D
 
Use the stock psu and if it craps out then go ahead and get a better one. It should be able to handle what youre putting in it just fine.

My PSU was not up to snuff, if you are planning on a non-gaming pc then you should be fine. If you put in a Nvidia 7 series forget about it, get a new PSU.

And hope that when it goes out, it's happy going down alone, and doesn't want to take any other components with it.
