£20 for shipping seems like a total ripoff (unless that's the cost of shipping from one side of the pond to the other) but £40 total is a decent deal for that mobo.

All in one motherboards are ideal for a cabinet.  I would look to paying 30-40 pounds for it, but on this side of the pond.  If you have a problem with it, then you have to ship it back.  :blah:

Shame you didn't post earlier, as I just gave away a 2.4 CPU and Asus Mobo. 

I have another Intel P4 CPU that is going spare, if you want it. PM me.

Everything is Dual Core these days.  But you do need a PSU that will take the card and everything else to power your cab.

I would look to system pulls on Ebay co.uk for something cheap.  Like 15 quid.  :cheers:
If I had only one wish, it would be for three more wishes.

The Arcade VGA card comes in two varieties, AGP and PCI-E.
The motherboard you linked to has an AGP8X slot.
If I'm not mistaken, if you've got the AGP version of the Arcade VGA it should work with this board.

thanks for your help folks - good job this works cause i bid £20 on it and was accepted so £40 delivered - not bad i think as you say
thanks for letting me know which cable to ask Andy at ultimarc for cause i would never had known. i will order my AGP version of the avga and hopefully when that arrives i can power this baby up
thx ark for the offer - i really should check this more often  lolol.

didn't know if i could use the existing psu in my pc  but ive been looking at 400 watt power supplys on eBay - - -not to pricey, roughly £13 delivered - should i buy one???????

anything else you can think off that i might need to get?????? - i don't think so but im new to this and know nowt about computers!!!!
