Default new mobo for SFF Lan box

hey, I'm going to build a SFF pc for taking to LANs as my p180b is WAY too heavy to lug around with me, and am looking at buying an Abit Fatality F-190hd motherboard, it seems to be alright from what I've read, but does anyone know what its like first hand??? I will overclock, but only fairly mildly i.e. 500mhz or so.
any and all help appreciated.

im personally a fan of the GIGABYTE GA-G33M-DS2R however it does not offer HDMI. if thats a feature you must have, then i would suggest the motherboard you chose.



E8400 @ 4ghz (500x8 @ 1.35v)
Gigabyte X38-DQ6
2x2GB G-Skill DDR2 1000 @ DDR2 1000 5-5-5-15 2.1v
2 Sapphire ATi Radeon HD3870 in Crossfire
Seagate 7200.11 500GB 32MB Cache HDD
Audigy 2 ZS Gamer
Silverstone DA750
Samsung Dual Layer DVD Burner
Lian Li G70WB
Thermochill PA120.3|Swiftech Storm Rev.2|Swiftech MCP 655

Newegg.com - Buy Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more!
there ya go.
Gigabyte board absolutely rules, give those a look, and see which one you feel best suits what you need.
this is just me, but i have had awesome luck with them.
I also built a rig in one that was reviewed by HL not long ago.

Note what Paul says about the particular board we chose.

I have always had very good luck with Asus and Biostar boards, anything else just doesn't live up to my expectations. Biostar is one that may be cheap but I have had nothing but excellent experiences with them.







Thanks HL and Corsair!

Same here. Both the builds I have done I've used ASUS, not problem. But, their customer service is spotty at best, so good luck trying to RMA a board.
