Try an "Asus CUWE-RM" its a Socket 370 FCPGA motherboard (microATX) with onboard sound and video, it has 3 PCI slots and 1 AMR slot, 3 168-pin DIMMs, Ultra DMA/66, it supports Socket 370 Pentium 3's 533-733MHz, i don't know if it supports Celeron FCPGA's or not, you'll have to read up on it, it'll run you about $125-$130 US. Hope I helped.

PCchips BX-Pro micro ATX (723 I think). Fits into 12' AT case and can take AT power supply. Supports Celeron1 and P2.

AnandTech recommends the AOpen MX3W. See the whole article here: http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1367&p=2
 
You might also want to keep Durons in mind if you haven't bought the processor yet, because they have a huge performance advantage over Durons. They cost a little more, so really it's a question of whether or not your kids need the extra performance and are willing to pay a little more for it. (What are your kids going to be using the computer for? Not Counter-Strike, I hope )

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the kids are the once playing the most games and NEED the MOST powerfull toy on the market?

OP
Hi
Thanks for all the help
The kids will definitely not be playing counter strike.
More like Blues Clues and Candy Land
Ages 4,2,1
the little one doesn't play yet
 
I did think about giving them my BP6 setup
now that I've got my VP6
maybe
