Are there any other mATX nForce2 boards with the MCP-T southbridge besides the Shuttle MN31N? All the other nForce2 mATX boards I've found use the MCP southbridge w/o the Dolby Digital 5.1 encoding APU. Also, I noticed on Newegg's site, the MN31N doesn't ship with a SPDIF bracket although the mobo itself has a SPDIF header. Any ideas where to get this SPDIF bracket? A quick search on google provided no solutions.

You use the same PCI slot kit available for the XPC as they are both identical 10pin connectors CA10 SPDIF card Newegg has it here

No, but it has full overclocking features (everything) in bios :)

The M7NCG Pro does have the MCP-T though.

the Biostar M7NCG has the MCP-T southbridge. The rev. 1.4 of the M7NCG has all the overclocking goodies. If you're not using the onboard IGP, you should be able to hit 200mhz with it. However, the M7NCG has been discontinued. I am using this board.

The newer replacement model: Biostar M7NCG-400 has the MCP southbridge w/o the sound storm and firewire but has a lower price.

Ahh, I see now, quite confusing. I just built a comp for a friend using the M7NCG-400. Seems like a nice board, especially for the price, and all the features you get. Nice to have all the overclocking available in a mATX board.

Thanks for the replies, found a M7CNG non-400 w/ MCP-T for sale at 3btech.net. That and the $8 Biostar SPDIF bracket from Newegg was alot cheaper than getting the Shuttle combo.
