Looking for a mATX x58/1366 board. Asus Rampage Gene would be first choice but will consider any others. Please PM what you have and how much you want.
** edit ** will consider any x58 board, not just mATX, if you have something gathering dust in the closet, PM me!
** Monday update **
The build is a gift for my nephew. The idea was to present him with a box of parts and then supervise while he assembles it, and then later show him how to o/c different components and how to test along the way. I wanted x58 because I already have a pile of parts from my old x58 system. It's a great plan, except my timing is utter crap for x58 because everyone seems to have 'xeon fever'
So long story short I'm not being nostalgic for x58, or itching to play with one of those cheap xeons, I just wanted to build my nephew a powerful o/c'able gaming rig for as little cost as possible. At a certain point it becomes more attractive (as well as money better spent) to just buy myself a new m/b and cpu to play with, and just give my nephew my beloved 2500k/z68.
Thanks again for looking.
