[mythtv-users] OT: Looking for a motherboard

[Joseph A. Caputo]

Well, thanks to everyone who replied to my previous thread, I've pretty 
much decided to to go ahead with an nForce2+IGP board.  Now the problem 
is that I can't seem to find one with everything I want!  I was hoping 
to get the same Chaintech board that Jarod has, but it doesn't have 
what I need, nor does any other Chaintech or Asus board, or any board 
on NewEgg.  Can anybody out there chime in if they know of a board 
that:

- has nForce2+IGP for Northbridge
- has at least 3 PCI slots
- has S-Video or Composite out on the back panel (so I don't need to use 
a slot for the S-Video header)
- has onboard USB (duh)
- has onboard IEEE1394/Firewire (pin header would be sufficient)

The most difficult thing to find seems to be a board that has both GF4MX 
onboard (w/back panel SVideo) *and* IEEE1394.  I'd really like to have 
both, as I'd like to keep my AGP GF4MX in my existing box, and I have 
external FireWire devices I'd like to use.  In the end, I suppose I 
could settle for a board with IEEE1394 but no IGP and just use my AGP 
card (provided there are still 3 PCI slots + 1 AGP slot).

So, is anybody out there using (or know of) a board meeting these specs?

Feel free to reply off-list if you don't think others would be 
interested in this thread.

Thanks,

JAC
