There's a Leadtek WinFast A280 MyVIVO Graphics card reviewed over here. A slab of Crucial PC2700 DDR333MHz Memory get the once over here. And you'll notice some other bits and bobs are to be found there too.

What's more, the guys at BriT-Tech.net (cough!) have a fiddle with a diverse set of mobos over here. On offer they have Chaintech's Apogee 7VJL, an Albatron KX400+, another Albatron, the KX400-8X, plus Soyo's KT333 Dragon Ultra (Platinum).
