The best mATX motherboard money can buy?

there was a nice article at Anandtech yesterday about how the AMD 780G chipset has better integrated graphics than the Intel G35, but it all depends on what you plan on actually using the computer for and if you already have a intel proc are looking to drop in or if you are open to buying amd.
this is the article: http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=3258 and this is the mobo they reviewed: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128090

I love mine. There are others coming out on both Intel and AMD side. But with the mATX market dates are rarely meet in motherboard releases. Most of the upgrades are based on the video side of things. If you plan to use a video card in your system you wouldn't really be gaining a whole lot by waiting.

Cool. Thanks guys.
Now another question,
This "new" build, I plan to leave running 24/7 on a cabinet shelf.
The components are as follows:
Quadcore 2.4ghz stock q6600
The asus mobo above
8gigs DDR 800 ram (4 modules)
1x 74gig Raptor, 1x 750gig Segate
XFI
Geforce 8600GT
530Watt B-Tarantula powersupply
How much will the power bill be if I just leave it running 2x folding clients? $20?
This case will NOT have a floppy drive or dvd rom drive (I will connect external ones WHEN I need to...but that is like rarely)

Agreed.

Didn't see that! I'm not sure of build quality, but it looks like you have energy efficiency in mind.

a better choice

or if you want to spend close to what the b-Tarantula is . this one is $5 more but also a bigger psu.

both have mir's so in the long run both are way cheaper.

Will 8gb of memory and the raptor benefit the folding any? If all you are going to use it for is folding you should scale it down some.
