Generally the SuperMicro serverworks boards are cheaper...they also have
more experience with serverworks dating back to their 4P Xeon designs,
etc.  This is in USD from one of the "shopper" sites.

They cost somewhere from 600 to 700 USD in the USA *and* (for=20
most boards e.g. the Asus Cur-DSL(?)) you are to likely get one or=20
two 10/100 ethernetcards (mostly Intel) and Adaptec SCSI (from=20
one to three channels, LVD or Ultra160) on board. So if one=20
*needs* 64Bit/66MHz. PCI *and* 4GB Ram *and* the ethernet=20
*and* SCSI subsystems, they are really cheap! If, on the other=20

The other BX based systems (specially the Abit ones) work pretty=20
well at 133MHz., good cooling expected.
