When I burnt my other mainboard out (an aging p2 MSI variant) I needed something urgently to replace it - being mid program. So, off I went to my usual websites, and spotted this. It seemed to have reasonable reviews, so i purchased one not thinking it'd be hugely special, just reliable and simple. Boy, was I suprised! First off, its well laid out - everything is accessable, labelled and well explained in the manual. Second of all, its thoughtfully spec'd. rather than clutter the board with the aging IDEports, they've put a bank of SATA connectors, and only one IDE for a floppy drive (should you install one!). Furthermore, the onboard chipset is cooled quietly, wires don't need a huge stretch to fit into the appropriate port, and the colour coding is clear, rather than all the same boring beige. In use, the board is, quite frankly, special. Its quiet, reliable and because of its thoughtful layout not prone to overheating. Without going into technical detail thats avaliable on teh product information page, this board is a solid, middle of the road board, but because of its excellent design, stands head and shoulders above the crowd for me.
