Ok, here is the box I have. It's pretty quick, considering that all of the peripherals are speedy:

-Katmai PIII 500 MHz OC'd to 560 (112 MHz FSB)
-320 MB of RAM (128 MB Zeus PC133 for 2 sticks and 64 MB Micron PC100 for the last stick).
-Geforce 2 MX
-Diamond Max 30 GB 7200 RPM drive
-10/100 NIC
-SB Live OEM
-Voodoo2
-USR Performance Pro
-Floppy/Mouse/Keyboard/web cam/mic/speakers...

The motherboard is the Luckystar Slot 1 BX board reviewed at the Sharky Extreme site. I wanted to know if, like any BX board, I can stick in a CuMine PIII or CeleryII 566 OC'd to 850 or even 952 (a la 112 MHz FSB) or would it make sense to hold off for the 800 MHz celery running on the 100 MHz FSB (and OC up to 892). What would be a good site to get an OC kit? (I don't want to buy a dud Celery) Other ideas? This box is rather quick. I would be pleased to increase the CPU as it is bound to be the bottleneck, now. I was running circles around a guys Thunderbird box due to my massive amounts of RAM, my Geforce MX (due to his V5/5k), and the quick HDD.

If y'all don't know, where would be a good place to go to find stuff like this out?

Thanks.

I don't see why not. Just pop the CPU in a slotket and you should be fine. Make sure the slotket supports Cumine CPUs, though.
I recommend either the MSI 6905 Master, or the Asus S370-133. Both have worked well for me.

Actually, with the kind of games I play, and the amount of RAM and types of peripherals, I'm gonna hold off, for a bit.
