OMG That's alot of HSF's!

I think i'll stick with what I have, man thats just too expensive for a bare bones.

I was going to get this at one point but it had kinda "shakey" reviews so I decided to build my HTPC. This may be a revision though, haven't looked it up in a couple of months.

Seems kinda silly to unhook the thing and hook it up to a pc everytime you need to put new media on it. It would be awsome with a wireless or even wired ethernet card.

yeah that gf2 mx isnt going to cut it, but the good news is you can get a 5200 for like 35-40 bucks now and that would work.

I like this case, im sure the fans could be replaced. Do you have any othe issues with it?

Any time frame on when these might be popping up?

I would like to know what would be a good but cheap HTPC case. Im using a Micro ATX motherboard. CPU cooler is about 2in tall.

I was speaking from past experiances with Biostar. I had 3 that went bad in a row. Havent tried them since the nForce 2 ones.

Why is this such a hard question? BIOSTAR!!! DUH! j/k don't flame. It all boils down to the use of the computer of which board to get. I think the DFI is sexy so I would personally go with that. Just my two centz.

Yeah the AN8-Sli has been getting some pretty decent reviews. It sounds like its makes a pretty solid rig.

I agree, I had lots of problems with nVidia IDE drivers both on nForce 2 and 4. The speed difference is not going to be noticeble at all. This frustrated the crap outta me until I realized just how little (if at all) the performance gains were using the nVidia IDE.

Given I have never used this program, I would suggest comparing BIOS settings on your buds comp with what you have. Might help, or it might be a complete waste of time.

Nice. Let us know what you can squeeze out. And I like your sig ;)

I plan on waiting to see what other companys do with this chipset. If its about the same performance as this board is showing I will proby pick on up. I mean come on $70 and it gives nForce 4 a run for its money with its first stage driver release. Thats awsome in my book.
