Well, Im tired of trying to get my NIC drivers to work. So I have decided to go pick up 2 of these mobos. Im putting a XP1800 and a XP1600. I live local to these guys, I plan on picking them up today. My question is... Is this mobo worth the price? It has LAN, Audio, and Video.

Any input is helpful! Thanks in advance guys!

Not worth the price IMO. You can find Nforce2 mATX boards in the NewEgg refurbs for $50 and Via 133,266and 333 chipsets in the refurbs for $25 - $40. Also it doesn't list having on board Lan or Video which is what you need to keep the farm cheaper.

Check out the CHEAP FARM PARTS thread to see some of the mATX boards at good prices with on board everything.

Well that board does have onboard lan (via clicking the "view technical specs") but video isn't all that necesary...its nice but can't you just pull vid cards? I haven't done it but I've pulled CD-Roms and meeses and keyboards...

But a lot of the mobo's (m7vkq pro personally) are good and cheap for a farm. I got one of the 1.3GHz duron setups from directron, and I recently bought a layer from uber phlubb which hopefully will be here on monday if USPS wants to be kind :D

Fold and Frag on
