What I mean is, is it really worthy?

Chaintech 7NJS-ZENITH Ultra

Sofar I'm thinking this is the one to replace my MSI KT3 Ultra-2, I'de just like some other opinions. The only drawback to what I want in a mobo is the capasitors looking a little close to the bottom of the CPU socket.

Personally speaking and this is only a matter of opinion I would never lust after a Chaintech
I once worked in a computer store which used this make a lot, We used to RMA far too many of them, some also had stability issues for no known reason... basically systems were built expecting a problem.
Ive not tried that specific mobo but from experience I dislike them greatly... I would prefer your MSI to the Chaintech

Thats a good looking board but I personally would no go with the chaintech either. So far I am absolutly in love with my Abit NF7-S and would recommend it to anyone looking for an nforce2 board.

Not it's WRONG to lust after a board and you would probably get thrown in jail if you did.

But it's ok to lust after a woman!!!

I know someone using it the board is very good , Chaintech has come along way from couple of years ago. The product is good and comes with a tonne of extras. Another board to consider which is said to be the best out of all the Nforce2 boards from what I have read in reviews is the DFI Lanparty Nfroce2 Ultra, I say check that one out.

The Chaintech in my opinion is a good buy I almost grabbed the smaller version but went with Soltek 75FRN2-L which is quite excellent

I'm still considering it, I love the card reader and the front jacks and I dont think I'll be finding that in any other board.

Besides, it's so darned pretty.
