Anyone have this motherboard? Could you please measure it and tell me (as accurately as possible) the width and length dimentions? They aren't on the abit site and getting a responce from them is a joke...

I would REALLY appreciate it.. Thanks in advance!

I am measureing just under 244mm across the back of the board (where the connectors are) and 245mm on the other side (parallel to the PCI slots)

~9.5 inches x 9.5 inches :)

I couldn't even find the dimensions in the manual. Abit still blows the sh!t out of Biostar as far as information though ;)

all in all, I think this is a killer board for the price. Very stable, easily overclocked my duron 33% (100FSB to 133 FSB).

If you get this board and don't have a case, consider the Enlight 76020b1, it's got 90mm fans and a 300W PS. I ordered mine from directron, upgraded to a dual fan 320W TTGI PS, and it was only~ $70 shipped. I cannot believe how much quieter a 90mm fan is than an 80mm fan, cfm for cfm. food for thought

Thanks for the info! I need a board that's 200mm or less and thought the nv7m may be it, but it's not... I need to replace a bad Epox KT-133m+ board, but don't want to pay $80 for a replacement that is old technology (and not the greatest name), but it's the only board I've found that is small enough... Oh well..

You might try an Asus TUSI-m, it's socket 370 though w/ SIS integrated graphics (decent)

178mm x 244mm ASUS TUSI-m link

I think they run around $50 + shipping. Keep your eye on newegg refurb CPU's and you can get a 1.2 or 1.3 Ghz Celeron for ~$55 (I got one of each and both worked great)
