Thanks a lot guys!

Thanks a lot guys, I definitely appreciate this. Yes I realise I picked an ATI card with a SLI motherboard. Crossfire is still relatively new, which is why I don't quite trust it, but I did pick the X1900XT due to its performance. I'll probably go with the A8N32-SLI Deluxe, although if I...

I'm familiar with the DFI instability problems, and sorry if I sound ignorant here, but what exactly does the A8N-SLI Premium offer?

From what I can gather, the general consensus seems to be that SLI is still better than Crossfire, which is why I want to opt for an SLI configuration over a Crossfire one. It's nothing against ATI, of course, after all I do have the X1900XT. It's just that for dual GPU solutions SLI seems to...

Excellent. ;)

So that makes two for the A8N32-SLI as of yet. Thanks for your response, you don't know how rare those are for my threads.

Now, I probably won't be doing any overclocking, so the best stock performance is probably what I'm looking for, but I've heard some very diverse opinions on these four motherboards: The A8N-SLI Premium seems to be the latest motherboard from ASUS (correct me if I'm wrong), plus it has that...

I was leaning towards the A8N32 or the DFI myself, and this of course re-enforces that notion, but I hope you understand that I would be wanting more than one opinion. However, thanks very much! :D Oh and I added a poll just now.

...BUT, I won't be overclocking or doing anything to the hardware. I just need THE SLI motherboard, I'll be using this configuration: X2 4800+ Socket 939 Radeon X1900XT (I realize this is ATI, don't comment on that) 2GB DDR400 400GB 7200RPM HDD I've already got two in mind: A8N32-SLI...

Excellent, now I just have to pick between the P180 and Tsunami. The Tsunami wouldn't be a contender if not for your information, thanks again!

Yeah I've seen that one, and while I do recognize Lian-Li as a very solid maker, that side window looks quite mediocre, especially compared to that of the Tsunami.

Thanks a lot for the reply, that actually helps quite a bit! I might decide to go with the P180 since I've realized that I probably won't be looking into the PC very often anyways. That said, if I do go with the Tsunami I've got your tips to make it as good as it can be, so thanks again...

I'm in the market for a case with a good side window and good cooling performance. I was looking into the Tsunami but I'm not too sure how it would handle my configuration, which is this: X2 4800+ X1900XT 2GB DDR400 X-Fi Fatality 400GB 7200RPM HDD If there are any alternatives you can...

Thanks guys, and sorry I didn't provide my hardware specs. I guess it's too late to do so now.
