Yeah... I know nV ddropped integrated graphics when they moved to the ultra NF2 chipset. A ton of those have the MCP-T available on a cramped mATX board. Why the heck can't I find an Ultra chipset with one?! It's really driving me crazy!

When I go A64 & 16 pipe card of some sort, I want to build a nice competent box for my XPM and 9700pro to semi retire too. Why cant anyone ever get it right?
 
Shuttle MN-31n

OR take a look at the board they use in the "shuttle" boxes, they sell that seperatly.
 
lol, they don't care about the athlon line anymore, :)

just get the mATx for the s754, and be done with for a while

If you check my sig you'll note I have a prometia already and a TEC setup in the works. I dont want to buy two all new setups and I think I'll put new A64 gear in the sub cooled Prommy-Lian-Li rig ;) I know they dont care anymore about AXP but doesnt mean I shouldnt be able to find pretty much any of the good board candidates that have been made.

I will check out the shuttle but I could swear I've checked that model before.... looking for an mATX for probably an Aria. Considering I can keep the case I'll be an optimist and consider my new sleek little rig the cost of a new mATX mobo. Not really interested in platform alternatives. Thanks for all the suggestions so far though guys. Off to go check for that Shuttle....
 
I just finished building an ARIA box for a neighbor, and one of the things I spent the longest time on was searching for an integrated video solution using the Ultra. Well, after four days of hunting for this, I had to setting for a Chaintech 7NIL1-Summit board and add a cheap video card to the unit. Runs nice and cool since I went with a passive Nvidia MX440 video card since she doesn't game on this box. Overall it runs quite cool and the money saved by buying the Chaintech made up the cost of the video card.

I just want the ultra chipset and MCP-T (with nV's chip running the sound). I only commented that I do find IGP boards with the MCP-T very easily. Just saddens me I cant get an ultra with one. Im off to go check the chaintech in case thats what was meant there. I'm going to be using a 9700np guys.
 
I have the Chaintech 7NIL1-Summit. It's a great stable board, but it doesn't have multiplier or voltage adjustments. I had to do the pin mod. I have my 2100 tbred running 210fsb, 10.5 multi, and 1.8v. This thing never crashes. The only downside is that it only has 4 channel sound, but i already had an Envy24 based card so that didn't matter for me.

The Chaintech 7NIL2-Summit is an identicle board, but it has 6 channel sound. I would recommend that one.
 
I'll be selling my MN31N mobo within the nex couple weeks here...

PM me if interested...
