The list gets longe and longer! :)  OK, so I know Biostar aren't the best
boards on the market, but I've always had good times with them in the
past.  They've got a mailin rebate going on at Biostar, so from newegg I
can get the M7NCD Pro
http://www.biostar-usa.com/mbdetails.asp?model=m7ncd+pro for $50.  It's
got all the features I need (LAN/Audio/etc) with the nForce 2 chipset.  
I've read some reviews on it and it performs really well, the only
complaints being lack of Raid and a few other features that I wouldn't be
using anyway.  Plus its full ATX, which I like since this is also my 
server machine.

Anyone think I shouldn't go this route?  The price/features/chipset seem 
right to me.


Thanks a ton btw, you guys are a true wealth of information.
