===================================



Some Notes:


1. The system ran fine in the chassis, but is not digi approved. I've recently moved onto the MB and am currently having problems (see here

2. The 3rd card interferes with the IDE connector on this MB. I removed the cable puller from the plug on the IDE cable to enable the card to sit flat and straight.

3. The stock fans are very noisy.

4. The case has good airflow and comes with a decent amount of extras, but it a little tight to work in. I'd recommend getting a bigger one with plenty of elbow room, as these MB are heavy and can be awkward to mount.

5. There are plenty of people with these board about, as they cross over into the high end "enthusiast" market. check out k8we.com for more general info.

6. The graphics board is a POS, but is very small, thin, noiseless, runs cool and has digital out.
