Epox 8K3A+
Coz its funky green instead of boring yellow.
Should get a Red msi one instead.

[shaft]

I just bought a MSI red one to replace my ECS Black one, comes with loads of extras too, 8 usb ports 1+2, bluetooth, 5.1 audio, raid etc etc. v nice

[Badger]

I will probably be buying one soon :D

Dont buy a moboard for the colour.
Asus or abit get my vote.
Epox tend to be good clockers but dont have the build quality of the others.
The asus with the front panel with the leds on etc giving temp readings etc in ya drive bay looks spinky.
Get the samsung ddr 333 with i have some in my epox p4 moboard running at 200 mhz(400) at the mo. Rock solid.

[Badger]

[Kingfrag]

my epox used to crashe when ram was at 2700. 1 bios flash later voila. Dont mean its a bad board.

I have the older A7V asus Board and really rate Asus boards ...... thought I had knacked it last night plugging a HDD in while it was powered up and somehow in a day dream getting the plug the wrong way round and touching one of the conatcts to the drives........ mucho sparks, the pute shuts down and I thought i had blown the board and drive up ......... unplugged and switched back on and all was workiung fine again ..... a huge sigh of relief and a thnaks to Asus for velly nice build quality.

And oh yeah...... ive learnt me lesson ...... was getting far too complacent andover confident ...... thinking i had blown me mobo, 82 gig drive and nearly frying me self has deffo done me some good :)

Stick to handling sheep Dilb, much safer.:tongue:
