    Sick of DFI - which Asus to get?

    I've had no bad expereinces with my ASUS A8N-E, only good ... it's been rock solid and the NB chipset fan hasn't been a problem. I'd recommend the ASUS A8N-E as an ULTRA solution. ASUS web site is OK .. not the best .. but what exactly do you need a manufacturers website for .. updates right...

I just buolt...

    Which board DFI, MSI, ASUS, or Gigabyte

    I went with the ASUS A8N-E .. pretty much the same things you were looking for. Why get an SLI board though if you are not planning on using SLI? To get the better SB on board sound on the MSI you have to go with the SLI board. The DFI and MSI Ultras still have a less than ultimate sound...
