    by the looks of it, thats the ecs k7s5a mobo. Good, stable motherboard, supports ddr and sdr, which is nice. Using it myself atm., no problems with it. Decent on board sound and 10mb lan too.

    It takes all future XP chips too, which is nice.

    Ye, that fan is probably bog standard aswell, though it could be a but loud.

    its an OK deal though, £110 stg is about €150 or 160 id say,
    that xp2000 chip alone is about €90-100, the mobo could get away with €60 and the fan €15.

    Komplett could probably do u a better deal id say, as shipping from england will cost a fair bit.
