Hey guys, up until recently I was considering a Shuttle (SB77G5 or SN95G5), but am looking into getting an Antec Aria.
Can anyone suggest some top-o-the line motherboards with few problems? I'm looking primarily for 875P chipsets preferably with SATA, and socket 478. However, I will take 775 if need be - I'm trying to avoid prescott heat! I am also looking at NForce 3 Ultra or NForce 4 socket 939, so if you see any of those throw em my way.
Also, compared to a Shuttle SilentX 250 (G5) power supply, how is the Antec Aria's?
In addition, I know that in a shuttle the ICE generally takes care of the cooling of the CPU at least, but I don't know about the Aria. Can anyone suggest top-quality (Non liquid or vapor thank you...) cooling for the CPU, GPU, Chipset and case in general? Noise is also a factor so I don't mind paying for the best - I'll suppliment or replace case fans if neccessary.
In summation, anything else I should know and would building a little system around an Aria be a good decision?
