200N gone Pop!

[Rich_L]

Hi all,

Haven't paid any attention whatsoever to goings-on in the computer world for the last 18 months as my 200N has been running nicely...until now..

So, now I need to find a replacement preferably sub-£100.

Am quite tempted by the MicroATX with the Antec Aria route, but would need to find a SocketA motherboard with onboard VGA, 5.1 sound with SPDIF, LAN & SATA..but have no idea what's out there...!

Any ideas?

Much thanks in advance!
