    wow, thanks guys, that's a lot of good info ! Looks like I still have some reading to do but thanks to your suggestions I can narrow down the search. I've had good luck with the two DFI boards I've owned so I'm kinda leaning towards the DFI P965-S Dark and the VGA 122-CK-NF68-A1 . I've never...

    Hot!ViewSonic VX922 Black/Silver 19" 2ms

    Are you sure this is one of the best LCDs for gaming? I'm looking for an LCD to match up with my shiny new 7900 gt but the resolution on this one seems kinda low, only 1280X1024 and just 16.2m colors? Isn't that a sign of a lower quality LCD ?

I've looked at the DFI website and read reviews of the board but I cant find anywhere where it says how these boards are different? The only difference I can see is...

    SLI question

    Can I use two ATI cards like the 1900XT for SLI on an nvidia board or does it have to be the XTX version and a Crossfire board? This may seem like a dumb question but I couldnt find the answer anywhere.

    Need Help with DFI Lanparty UT mobo

    Ok, I looked at the zalman instructions and yeah Im supposed to remove the plastic bracketing around the retention clip. I did that. But the nipples arent long enough to screw into the plastic backing on the other side of the motherboard. So if I'm right, I need another backplate? But from where?
