Nforce 415 w/ Nforce Audio and Nforce LAN?

[BD2003]

Does it exist? I dont need integrated VGA, and I dont want anything but Nforce Audio and Nforce LAN.

What I do need is:

At least 4 Channel Surround
Some sort of digital out=optical or coaxial
Overclocking abilities

I was looking at buying this one
http://www.msicomputer.com/product/detail_spec/k7n415pro.htm

Its $100 @ newegg.com
MSI K7N415 PRO nForce 415 200/266MHz FSB Socket A Motherboard, Best for Windows XP No On Board VGA - Live Bios, Integrated 10/100 base-T network, 2X/4X AGP Slot, 5 PCI, 3 DDR DIMMs Slots, Onboard Audio CNR 6 channel, TV-Out Dauhter Card, Support Socket A (Socket 462) for AMD® Athlon / Athlon XP / Duron processors up to 2000+MHz, ATX Form Factor

Im not sure about it is at overclocking tho.. youll have to look that up

The aforementioned K7N415-Pro. It rocks.

Dolby 5.1 sound, onboard LAN, 6 USB, it even overclocks reasonably. I'm probably going to upgrade my primary rig to this board after seeing how the second machine performs.

Speaking of the sound...... How does it sound? Compareable to the Audigy?

Wow, he asked a question about a motherboard, got it answered, and bought the recommended Mobo all in the same evening! That's pretty amazing, I'd say.

Well, I was looking around on my own of course. The MSI just seemed to be the one that fit the bill.

Not to mention I'll make money off it.

Old MB $50, Audigy $50, NIC $10. Nforce $100. $10 in my pocket, and no more via.

I also like the idea of a motherboard that uses the integrated nforce LAN. I mean, why add an external Realtek LAN chip when you've already got that capability built into the chipset? It just doesn't make much sense to me.

As for the MSI board, I'm wondering why they don't make this in a microATX format. I mean, do we really need 5 PCI slots on a board with this much stuff already integrated? I was thinking of building a compact multimedia box to keep by my TV for playing back DIVX videos and such, but I don't think this motherboard would fit in the microATX cases I've been looking at.

BTW, does anyone know how much MSI charges for that TV-out add-in card for the nforce 420D motherboard?
