[QUOTE="Maz78, post: 32101, member: 17741"] I've been checking these boards out, especially the Asus one posted earlier by Fathead. I may go with this MSI board: The K8NGM2-FID2. It's basically the same as the ASUS, but has slightly better audio output. [url]http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=702[/url] Check out this link on another forum I found, it had some great comparison info between the ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI boards that all have the same basic specs: [url]http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=29&threadid=1762814[/url] A great review on the ASUS Board: [url]http://www.pcstats.com/ArtVNL.cfm?articleid=1898&page=1[/url] I have been thinking of purchasing this board, but the one weird part of the board as their conclusion stated is: About the only thing to complain about is the lack of the TV/Component output connector. Officially it is sold separately, however trying to find that little module is difficult. That essentially rules the Asus A8N-VM CSM out of being used as the basis for a HTPC system. We would strongly encourage Asus to include the tiny TV Output bracket. (Bit dodgy they sell the damn connector seperately!) :) [/QUOTE]
