I have to say, I am probably in the minority. I have Vista on my laptop and love it. I hate having to use two different operating systems. Seriously.

My video card (Sapphiretech Radeon HD 3850 AGP 512MB) will never be fully utilized in XP. Well, at least, until Microsoft changes their mind and releases DX10 for XP. I am skeptical. I can run Vista on my hardware with one caveat: I must disable one of my two cores. If I do that, it boots right up. I am still pestering nVidia for an MCP update for that.

Got the NB fins bent out to match the PSU. I had posted a thread elsewhere asking some Q's about this but it came out awesome. Looks real sweet!

Does it beep at all when you push the power button? That is, is it stone dead, or it powers up but will not POST?

Check the posted thread for more info. I dont have a case speaker, so I dont know if it's beeping. The board comes on, all case fans go, Im just not getting a post screen or anything. Might be CPU not compatible but im not sure. See thread for more help please

The end consensus is that the board needs DDR2-533 (PC2-4300) or faster to POST.

Would anyone like to donate to the project? I would help out, but I only have DDR-400 (PC-3200) and DDR-266 (PC-2100).

Yep! I have two 256 sticks of DDR2 3200 I will gladly trade to someone if they have some DDR2 4300 I can have.

Not as of right now, I still have all the panels off from tinkering with the hardware. Haven't even put all the panels back on since I cleared them. I'll grab some shots of the assembled case Friday when im off from school/work for ya though.

Thanks for the compliments as well, I concur that little touch on the NB fins makes a nice touch.
