As I've mentioned in other posts, I am building what will basically be a computer with 5-6 hard drives and won't run anything other than OS..

One site is selling the Intel Celeron D 345 3.06GHz / 256KB Cache / 533MHz FSB / OEM / Socket 775 for $30.

Is this a good deal... or is the chip just really crappy (Never used a celeron and am unfamiliar with them).. I figured if I could find a cheap mobo with sataII support, I'd be good to go.

What do you guys think? Should I go for this chip or should I just get a sempron 64 with motherboard for around $110?

If it aint going to run anything other then the OS then get it it should run just fine. Although if you get the sempron 64 with the motherboard it may be a faster performer either one should do fine.
 
I'm running a Celeron on my computer (the one below) and it runs XP Home pretty good. Oh and it's also a 64-bit.

p.s. some of the people here are bias for AMD so be careful (not saying I'm bias for Intel)

I've used some celerons and they are always much slower than Pentiums and such. I'd strongly suggest going with a cheaper pentium, or even an AMD sempron as mentioned...
 
I'm trying to find the best value sempron/motherboard.. im thinking a sempron 2800 or 3000.. I do NOT plan on overclocking though..

I really need to check out the specs on my old tower.. it's a supermicro full tower.. atx.. just not sure if the PSU is good enough (I could always buy a new PSU.. just want to make sure everything will run the way it's supposed to if I get a new one).

I am trying to do this as carefully as possible because in the past, I've had a habit of building a pc withouth thinking it all the way through :(
