I also have a successful install for a P4C800-E Deluxe. Here are my system specs.

Asus P4C800-E DELUXE
Intel Pentium 4 / 2.8CGHz 512k socket 478 Hyper Threading Technology 800 MHz FSB with Heat Sink and Fan
2 - CORSAIR 512MB PC3200 Value Select. VS512MB400 DDR RAM (1024MB Total)
Maxtor 120GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive Model # 6Y120M0
Western Digital 80GB 7200RPM ATA (133Mhz) Hard drive with 8Meg Buffer - connected to Primary IDE
Black Samsung SM-352 52x24x52x CD-RW & 16X DVD-ROM - connected to Secondary IDE
3 1/2" Floppy: Basic Mitsumi
Thermaltake 480W W0010PFC
Radion 7500 4x AGP Card with 64MB Ram
U.S Robotics 56k Modem USR5610B - PCI slot #5
On-Board LAN and Sound
Basic Altec Lansing Speakers
Sony Trinitron 19" CRT
Microsoft internet keyboard (Non-USB)
Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 optical USB mouse (using USB -> PS2 adapter)
Two rear Antec fans daisychained
One front Thermaltake fan powered by the Motherboard
One front Thermaltake fan powered by the power supply (in front of Hard Drives)
Antec PlusView 1000 AMG Case

Win2000 Pro SP4
Bios version 1010

Comments: This motherboard has been strange to say the least. Could not get Win2000 Pro to install until I upgraded the Bios to v1010. When I first assembled the parts the motherboard would not beep. Then out of the blue the system starts beeping normally (one beep) at start up. Hyperthreading and Raid array are disabled. The Asus tech told me over the phone not to worry about the motherboard not beeping unless other problems start showing up. Except for the minor problem below the system has been running flawlessly.

Power supply fan only spins at about 650~700 rpm. I think this is due to the power supply positioned right above the two Antec exhaust fans blowing at full speed.

Will update when I install ATI 9600 Pro All-In-Wonder and Sound Blaster Audigy 2.

Made the following changes to this system:

Radion 9800 Pro 8x AGP Card with 256MB Ram
Lite-On 52x24x52x CD-RW & 16X DVD-ROM - connected to Secondary Master IDE
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 zs Gamer – Limited Edition
19” Mitsubishi – Diamond Pro 930sb CRT monitor
Western Digital 40GB 7200RPM ATA (133Mhz) Hard drive with 2Meg Buffer - connected to Secondary Slave IDE via Front Removable Drive Bay
Logitech Z640 5.1 Speakers
Updated to Motherboard Bios 1016

Since upgrading the Bios to version 1016 the motherboard stopped posting altogether again. That is no beep(s) during boot up. I’ve since given up trying to figure that one out. The other parts that were installed are working flawlessly since they were installed a couple of weeks ago. The power supply fan is still moving at about 650~700 rpm. But I have never encountered a problem with heat as of this writing. CPU Temperature is at 31C/87F and the Motherboard Temperature is at 26C/78F.

The front removable 40gb hard drive is used for backups only and is not connected to the system when not in use. Since this is an IDE removable drive bay and I have the operating system loaded on the SATA drive. I need to go into Bios and change the boot order every time I connect and disconnect the hard drive. Also since it is an IDE removable drive, the drive has to be connected on the Secondary Slave IDE to work.
