Well I never had the opportunity before to purchase a SolteK product, so when attending the local PC swapmeet I spied one, well...
This particular little gem is the KT-133A chipset (from my favourite VIA) pretty much the same as the other Abit KT7 adorning my Retro collection, while the On-board sound sucks big-time... the REDSTORM OC'ing bios feature totally rocks! not to mention the ATA100 & AGP pro support
A self tuning OC facility?... what genius OH YEAH!!!!
Check out those MOSfet heatsinks near the ZIF 462 socket

Where do you get those coolers? Seems you use a lot of them.

They are purchased surplus AFAIK by a guy who then sells them individually @ PC swapmeets... you can't beat the price either $4.00 (cheaper than a retail 40mm fan)
I could've gone with a fansink (a.k.a. Vantec IceberQ) but even if the fan fails... there's enough 'meat' on the unit to handle passive cooling

SolteK SL-75KAV update...
LMAO this is begining to look like a work log :lol
Anyways we recently purchased an LED enhanced webcam, which makes taking inside case shots far easier IMHO
So I thought I'd post the 'pics' of the latest additions to the board, namely 3 new 1000uF 10v capacitors, which I was able to source thanks to the Australian military surplus outlets
As you can see I've since ceased re-using capacitors in my 'repair work' after much debate with Jim on the matter

Nice to see you haven't changed your excellent workmanship too.

Thanks... but if a job's worth doing... it's worth doing well
