Great review Ben. Looks like a pretty solid board. I think this one should definately be considered for people looking to build a nice S939 system on a budget.

You know, I should almost try this board out for my daughters build thats coming up soon. Besides many hours of internet stuff, she plays FF online and uses Photoshop CS2 most of the time.
I'll have to keep an eye out on how it is working for others. |

| I've had this board up and running as my wife's office PC for a few weeks now. W2K Pro with mirrored SATA, PCI-E video, rock solid, cool, and fast -- she's very happy with it. I may use it again as I have about 25 more to build there and they want to be able to grow with the OS options and new hardware. At first blush maybe a little overskill, but this seemed an affordable board to meet that desire. Thanks for the very helpful review! |

I've happened to get my hands on one of these too and its not too bad. It was a "gift" so I won't complain. Chaintech's products have improved since my last encounter with them. Hopefully I won't have to test their support.
This might be the basis of my 939 system...

The board is a good alternative to ECS for any budget build considering the good bundle and solid performance on the review.
Very good review!
