My parents old 566 Celeron has pretty much bit the dust. I've tried my best to diagnose the problem, but its giving me multiple fake signs which is making it impossible to fix the problem. They are tired of it so they want a new computer as cheap as possible.
I want to see what suggestions/recommendations you people have on the following components. The links highlighted in bold are the one's I am thinking about choosing right now.
Motherboard: They are only using this for internet surfing and what not, no high end features are needed.

The Floppy Drive
And Windows XP Home Edition
I've got the power supply and couple of fans here so I don't need those. Mainly I want to see what you people think about the motherboard. And double check to make sure everything else looks okay. If everything checks out, I will order it tommorow.
PS - While surfing newegg, I see that they have added some instructional videos about how to build your own computer. Might be helpful to first time computer builders

PPS - The grand total for this computer (with the stuff I have listed) is 453 USD.
PPPS - For you gamers here, you can add a 9600 Pro for a 100 USD and make it an awesome gaming rig for under 600 dollars.
