939 - DFI? - need help choosing.

[BF04]

I really like the socket 754 DFI lan party. I have seen pics of the socket 939 DFI board. Anyone know anything concerning this board?? I just purchased the new 90nm 939s AMD64 3200+ and now looking for a good board. If DFI doesnot have anything coming out by end of Oct or so I will have to choose something avaible today. Ive read alot on the MSI and when it works seems to be a good board, however it does seem to have alot of problems. I am looking for a 939 with the Nvidia chipset so that does limit me little.
Any suggestions or recommendations

Buy the Epox 9NDA3+ motherboard...it will probably be out in around 2-3 weeks..

Stay away from EPOX.They suck.Had 2 and I can't urge you enough to disregard the above recommendation.
Wait for DFI's solution for S939.It also should be out in a few.
It's dubbed the DFI NF3 LanParty Ultra-D
DFI is making their way to the top and quite frankly if they keep like they are will most likely be the new standard for motherboards,knocking Abit & ASUS off their 1st & 2nd place pedestals.

You're not a little limited, you're very limited as you can only choose from the MSI and the expensive Gigabyte.
If I were you I wouldn't wait, that can be very frustrating and you have no idea if the soon to be released boards are stable boards. So I'd get the MSI from a store that will refund it for your money back if it has to come to that.
