Hey all,

I've decided to either put my system into a custom sff case I'm building or build a new system for it. My main problem currently is that I need to have 2 pci slots usable when using a graphics card with a dual slot cooling solution.

I need one for sound and one for wireless. And I'm upgrading my gpu to one with a dual slot cooling solution on it.


Now I haven't seen any Intel boards with the config of the slots I need. And only like 1 or 2 amd boards. I am looking to OC whatever I get fairly decently. I'd prefer an Intel board (Which I've had no luck at all finding) as well I have an Intel cpu already and it'd cost me less $ that way. (Yeah I could get a pci-e x1 wireless but that's like $80-100 in and of itself so I wouldn't wind up saving any $)

The best of the bunch for AMD seems to be the Abit AN-M2 nView?


Thanks for any help you can give!
 
This is the reason I am going back to a regular sized ATX board next build.
I do not understand why almost all mATX boards have such piss poor slot lay outs.
 
Go to: Logicsupply.com or net or just google it. They have a wide variety. Great website.
 
Why not buy a USB wireless adapter. I used to work for Road Runner and the internal PCI wireless adapteres didn't have as good range as an external USB one. The computer case itself acts as a barrier to receiving signal and with an external USB wireless adapter you can position the adapter to get the best signal.
 
I have seen tons of AMD boards at newegg with the layout you are mentioning. I think the MSI nvidia chipset 7025 motherboard fit (but I am getting really tired of MSI lately). Also what the person said above me about the Abit AirPace I second on. That is a sweet little PCIe card that was on sale for $2 back in the holidays.
