Best Micro ATX Motherboard

Looking for a Micro ATX Motherboard.

The best rated one on Newegg is the BIOSTAR G31E-M7 LGA 775 Intel G31 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard.

This is for a cube case build with E8400 & ATI 5770.

Any other suggestions?

What's the most efficient way to get blue tooth and wireless N?

That doesn't even come close. For S775 it's either the Asus P5E-VM HDMI or Lanparty Jr: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-055-_-Product

I have both and the Lanparty is sitting in my closet. Lanparty is better for dual core OCing and supports Crossfire. P5E-VM HDMI is discontinued unfortunately.

Thanks, I can still find both on eBay new.

The LanParty looks great for crossfire, but otherwise I like BioStar because price is a concern (budget machine).

I should have titled "best budget" micro ATX motherboard.

But I'm liking the LanParty one because of crossfire even though it's 50% more.

But before I buy I would have to make sure a 600W power supply can fit in the Micro ATX Cube Case, then there is heat!

Drop the Q-Pack and get the Q-Pack2 or Micro Fly clone:

Heat and compoonents aren't a problem if you're willing to do some minor modding:

this board is avail at amazon for $60. I think it's by far the best bargain in intel matx boards.
