Built myself a new computer 11 months ago using the Biostar T Power i45 motherboard purchased new from Newegg.
Added the following parts:
CPU--- INTEL|C2D E8400 3G 775 45N R
MEMORY 6GB--- 2Gx2|OCZ OCZ2RPR10664GK R
Video Card---ATI Radeon x1900xtx, Pci-E, 512 GDDR3
modified with better heat sinks and larger cooling fan.
Power Supply---Antec earthwatts EA500 500W ATX12V v2.0 SLI
Hard Drive---SAMSUNG HD642JJ 640GB Sata
Sony and Toshiba DVD ide drives from my orig. computer
After everything was all hooked up, installed drivers per Biostar instructions and CD.
Installed Ubuntu 8.10 from Installation Disc.
Ran updates. Ubuntu still running great, still have a few issues regarding DVD, CD burning that are not resolved. Common ongoing problem within the Ubuntu community.
Also run Windows XP within Ubuntu using Virtual Box.
Play Urban Terror on line game without any problems. Native drives supplied by Ubuntu for Radeon video cards seems to work just fine. No problems playing videos.
I am happy with the build.
