| 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 Last edited by simple_inhibition; September 26th, 2007 at 23:57. | ||||||||||||||

| 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. HardwareLogic - Left-Click MicroPwn System Review 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. ![]() Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 | DFI Blood Iron P35-T2RL | 2GB G.Skill 800MHz | EVGA GeForce 8800GTS 320MB | Silverstone Decathlon 650W | Western Digital 250GB SATA II | ||||||||||||||
