I have a 733 Mhz C3 at home. The motherboard is a soyo 7VEM. It is a fairly small board. It has sound and video built in. I use it as a fileserver, so I never bothered to install X or sound, so I can't help on those to points. Otherwise a C3 based system is like any other i386 install. I compiled my own kernel for it afterwards, but I didn't have too, the stock ones worked just fine. The performance is a bit disappointing. As a home fileserver it fits the bill, but I tested it with setiathome and found it did no better than your average K6-2 or K6-3 500~ mhz.
