You gotta just pick a board and go with it

This is for a different computer than what I have been working on. I am looking for something different for this one. Something unusual and that's why I asked about this board. Please don't be so critical. If you don't want to waste your time and answer than don't. Maybe someone will give me some info on this NEW board that doesn't have many reviews. I will be trying many different boards in the future and just want people insight.

Actually, moosey was right on the money. Motherboards, hard drives, processors--hell, pretty much every hardware there is now. You pick something you like, and go with it. There are bad boards within every manufacturer, and even within the exact same models, YMMV. Pck something you like, get it with a warranty, and go for it.

Your question for this topic is much better than the "top recommended mobos", because the later is such an open question, it's impossible to answer. Also, take into consideration that any motherboard that is so new that it doesn't have reviews out for it, is so new that any kinks haven't been worked out either. So there are going to be more than a few problems with the motherboard--this goes with any new hardware and the ones that adopt early technology know this (just ask anyone with a 680i mobo, and they'll atleast be aware of it).

Take it easy, and don't dump on someone that doesn't give you exactly what you want. At the very least, appreciate the bump to the thread. Good luck on picking your new mobo, for which ever box. And speaking of which, what is this other machine for exactly?

Are you saying that I dumped on him? I said don't be so critical. He was referring to another thread I had and I think he was being critical. I just told him if he didn't like it he didn't have to answer that's all. Not trying to dump any more than he.
The comment to just pick one is not what I do. Maybe you just pick but I like to reference for a long time before I ever jump into something. I am not made of money and don't like to waste it if possible. If you guys can just afford to do that great. Power to you. I myself choose to be patient and ask a lot of questions. Whether someone answers them is another story I guess. Don't think I am ranting at you just telling you what I mean and being upfront that's all.
The machine is for fun, fun, fun and trying something new and interesting. Toys are a boys best friend.
