Oddly enough, I'm looking to replace/upgrade my machine. Currently, I have a 1.2Ghz sitting in an EPoX 8K5A3+, and I'm looking at getting a new 'board with a similar featureset.
What I'm basically looking for is a system with the ability to use some of the newer processors, IBM or AMD that also has extremely good stability. I don't mind if I lose 5fps in the newest games if it means I'll never have to reboot ;-) Obviously, it has to be reasonably feature rich; preferrably sporting four IDE raid options, and GigE might be nice. Video card, sound card, and such are already covered, so I'm only interested in stability and the ability to host a large number of drives in my machine.
Any suggestions? I've heard alot about the Albatron, but it lacks some of the features I'd really prefer. I suppose I could put a few Raid cards in my PC, but integration makes things so much more simple ;-)
EDIT: I should mention that I'm not really an overclocker, so that isn't a huge factor
