The next piece just arrived, the A8N32-Deluxe motherboard from Asus.
This is one killer board – two x16 PCI express slots, 6 SATA II ports, on-board RAID controller, on-board 8 channel audio, dual Gb LAN, and so on. It’s probably a bit more than I needed for a dead processor line (939 socket), but it’ll serve me well through the next chip gen or two before I switch.
Asus really provides a great package – lots of cables, OC and tuning software, extra external ports to install if you wish (fire, usb, game, serial). It looks great, too, with the black PCB and copper heatpipe.
