Not ONLY are these mini-itx mainboards low power consumption, low heat AND fanless... ...but they are also 'weeny' as well! The Dual V2's would cover the length of the mainboard nearly! Plus there are ONLY two PCI slots on the riser card...ideal for a Dual V2 setup! SWEET! 8)

Try ebay for Cyrix processors, I'm sure you can pick one up dirt cheap up on there. Have you managed to get your two V2's yet to put in the system? If so, which ones have you got?

Sup' mate! Wink

Yah, I'm thinking of building an SFF Dual V2 rig using a VIA micro-ITX mainboard. Grin

I'm looking at one on eBay at the mo., but it'll probably finish at too high a price! Roll Eyes

As for the Dual V2's I have two Gainward Dragon 3000 Voodoo 2's (BOTH fully boxed with an SLI cable, passthrough and original driver cd's and manual) one of them has a demo CD with Turok on it and some other demos. Also one of the boxes is FRENCH! Shocked

These V2's are special as unlike most 'normal' Voodoo 2's they have big GREEN heatsinks on the TMU's anf FBI chip to keep them cool, but you'll STILL need a big fan though! Roll Eyes

We shall see what occurs... Wink
