for amd64 owners which micro mobo did you chose to put in this system? i was leaning towards the new msi nforce250 micro atx solution, but they seem to be only available in japan at the moment.

Wow, nice opinion... Not.

Check my sig for what you can stick in an Aria. And I still have room for another hard disk and two more PCI devices.

For m-ATX based 754 boards A-Open, Gigabyte, and MSI have nice solutions. If they do release the MSI board in the US, I'd hold out for it as I like the Nforce solution for A64.

I seen the soltek the one you recommend and even checked reviews for it, i have no cpmplaints it looks nice, it performs best of the sff line. but i need more pci slots:( otherwise withought hesitation i would chose the soltek for a sff. its much better than shuttles. but pitty onlu 1 pci slot.

what an intellegent response. if only MR. E could say the same
 
The Aria is far more upgradable and MOD friendly than any other proprietary SFF.

I am using the Gigabyte mobo (K8T800) and it is working great for me.

Wow, you come into the thread and threadcrap on his asking about S754 motherboards in an Aria, and you want to insult my intelligence (learn to spell check next time). If you have a problem then PM me and we can "talk".

I didnt thread crap dude i just stated the best option unless he needed those pci slots. you take this whole thing a bit to seriously.

Weren't you the one basically calling Mr.E dumb? If he is taking it too (notice the correct grammar on "too" instead of "to" like you had above) seriously then so are you. What kind of intelligent response is "trash the Aria" without giving any information backing up your statement? Do you own one? Did you even list a single reason to "trash the Aria"? It is a great case with far more expandability than proprietary SFF's and Antec has always made an excellent well built chassis.

Turmania: The Antec Aria is a great case. I can even back up my statements, if you want my opinion on it, I wrote up an article. http://www.netovations.net/~jfrye/aria_review.doc

As for what motherboard. The only one I have used (m-ATX, s754) has been the Gigabyte K8T800 board so far. The only gripe I have about it (which may very well be the case with ALL m-ATX s754 boards) is that you cannot adjust the vdimm. This creates a problem using high performance memory that needs to be fed 2.8v to run properly, as did my Mushkin 2-2-2 (BH6). This being the only sacrafice, it is a very stable board.

No where did i say that MR E was dumb. nor did i ask your opinion on anything i said. I did however give a good peice of advise like i was asked.I simply stated that most poeple would be better of with a qbic rather than an aria. i am not going to continue fighting about how good you think the aria is. if he is fixed on getting one then nothing i say could change his mind.
 
Didn't soltek close there U.S. Office? What about warranty?

Anyway, The ARIA is a very good case, for a motherboard, I would wait for the MSI NForce3 board to show up in the US.
