Personally I think the Aria is great! I was seriously considering a Shuttle, but they are a bit pricey and use a proprietary form factor for the cases/mobos. My only complaints would be that putting in new cards requires removing 6 screws. Two hold the bracket directly on the back, but you...

Well, I'm now running an Aria with an MSI KM4AM-L, 512MB PC3200 RAM (Mushkin Green), an Athlon XP 2600+ (333 MHz FSB), and my old Radeon 7500. It's been working like a charm for the past week. So far the VIA KM400A chipset is rock solid!

I also was just looking at the Gigabyte GA-7VM400AMF, which is a KM400A chipset mobo w/firewire too! Anyone familiar with this board?

I'm looking to build a micro ATX system based on an Antec Aria. I've also decided on the KM400 chipset and was looking at the DFI KM400-MLV. However, I also happened to come across the MSI KM4AM-L which is a KM400A chipset. Has anyone used one of these? http://www.axiontech.com has the MSI...

Yeah, the Chaintech 7NIL1 was one of the boards that I was looking at. But, comparing this to a KM400/KM400A w/8237 southbridge, I'm wondering if the slight performance increase from the Ultra 400 chipset is worth it from SATA and 8 USB ports. That's my dilemma! These are the boards of note...

I'm not familiar with the KT600 chipset. I assume this is a successor to the KT400A? Are there any microATX KT600 boards?

I was originally considering an nForce2 IGP board, but I read a lot of articles in different places which seemed to indicate that the IGP was pretty darn picky about memory. And, the IGP is <DIV>adequate for 3D gaming, but still performs well below a true AGP GeForce4 MX. I'm not much of a PC...

I'm looking to build a micro ATX system based on an Antec Aria case and an Athlon XP 2600. I'm trying to decide between a DFI KM400-MLV (KM400 northbridge, 8237 southbridge w/SATA) and a Chaintech 7NIL1 (NVIDIA nForce2 Ultra 400 + MCP) motherboard on Newegg. Has anyone had any experience with...
