The Shuttle is fine......just don't get a huge H/S Fan combo because they won't install easily.........if at all!

Also, the new KR7's are also available with ATA-133 on both the RAID and regular IDE channels if that intrests you.........................I've owned both now, and like I said, the Shuttle appears to do almost everything the Abit does, but, to be honest, I like the layout of the KR7's better and the boards seem to be of a bit higher quality IMHO!

But............it's all about choice! If money isn't a huge problem...............I'd personally go with the KR7. If money is a concern, go with the Shuttle, but, be sure and check to be sure your H/S fan will fit before buying one!
Good Luck!

No matter which you choose, they are both fine choices!
