djees man, you have loads of questions ... plz, try researching too, google is your friend.

Depends on what you want, bad motherboards hardly exist, compare the specs and look for reviews.

I've already answered this question. This is called phase change cooling and it does use a compressor like in an airco.

Those modded IDE cables will give you a better airflow, so this should improve cooling performance a bit. Anyway, if it's full of ****, get a bigger case.

Look for some reviews, anyway, if he's happy with it, it was probably a good mobo at that time. The definition of good just depends on what you want.

Last time I'll answer such questions. Plz use google/msn search/... first and plz use the button.

thanks!

hey Crazy_Parsy, it's not that we don't want people to ask for advice, but if you are interested in learning more about a certain tech, please ask us where you can find more info, or read up on something and ask if you don't understand something, post a link to where you read it and what you want to have explained further in detail.

posting general questions, like "how do I build phase-change?" is like asking "why is the earth round?"... it's a valid question, but a bit of google/research answer most of that question :)
