I've been looking at this mobo for a few weeks now and after the rebate its $75.00. I know its pretty much a basic mobo with the P45 northbridge, but I won't be doing any crazy stuff with it..It will be for a HTPC but I may do some gaming on it but mainly watch Bluray/HD-DVD movies and some encoding. Plan on getting a E8400 and would like to do some overclocking(nothing crazy). Just wondering if this board will be ok..(Once again, its mainly for a HTPC) Will probably have the following:
E8400
4Gb ram
Blu-ray reader
2 hard drives
Windows Vista Home Premium(or should I stick with Windows MCE???)
card reader
TV tuner card
Radeon 4850(may do Crossfire down the road)
What size power supply should I get also???
