I have an AMD Phenom II x4 910 on a baby atx board. The board has integrated HDMI and dual DVI, 8 channel audio. The motherboard has no room for expansion and I plan to add some PCI-E 16x video equipment.
Anyone have a recommendation on a full ATX board? I plan to buy 2 Radeon 5790 Crossfire cards so integrated video is out. Dual GB lan would be great if you are aware of one with all these goodies.
I obtained this gear in a canned package from HP and have since broke it down and placed it in a Thermaltake full tower. I'm currently running a 32" 1080p tv/monitor and two 27" monitors on the sides of the large monitor.
Your thoughts?

Although I have no idea about a full ATX, that's an amazing set-up!!! ------------- |

I already did all that Lunchy. Now I'm down to looking at ASUS Motherboards since the containment field on the flux capacitor was found to be degraded. ------------- |

yeh Asus make great boards very feature packed but their driver support sucks 2 much - only let down. Gigabyte make good boards especially for AMD chipset and they dont burn a hole in your pocket. There used to be a site called Toms hardware or summit you wanna reseach cos as u know damn technology updates too quickly for most of us. U guys head hurts cos its empty - all the thought waves are bouncin around in there wall dodging and sh1t which amplifies innumerably - its a well known fact - empty heads make most pain! Dr. Trinity recommends you plug in Dualshock and press X twice whilst flicking the analogue stick and the pain of thinking will soon disipate!  ------------- Cos I'm Wonderman...I'll take that knife and shove it up your a$$! |

I've had a couple GigaByte boards with Dual GB Lan. One was their Extreme Gamer board, which died a painful and sudden death. I have a GB router and switch set up in the laundry room and feed the entire hours from there. I linked it to the alarm system, that's why it's located there.
I'm doing some extensive home automation and want the household network on a diff lan than the one that servers the internet. I can remote in to my main machine and tweak lights, water heater, air conditioning and if I'm up north, I can turn on the pool heater so it's nice by the time I get home. I can also open the garage door and - or peek around with the webcams.
I can open ports from the second LAN to the internet as needed. Another feature of Dual LAN is redundant internet connections. I have this on our primary server with redundant fiber connections on the Mae West backbone. That thing screams! ------------- |

Nice, you should get a true tablet like the JooJoo and control your set-up ultra futuristically. http://thejoojoo.com/ - http://thejoojoo.com/ Although fiber to the home isn't offered in my part of NC, I work at a residence hall that houses 936 people and has a 6MB symmetrical fiber from Time Warner Business Class. ~Two nights ago, I was getting 20-24 ms latency in game! ahah I can only imagine how cool it would be to have the same thing in your house. ------------- |

Whoa. That JooJoo looks sweet. The main box I'm building will also be the media server for the entire house. Would be cool to site anywhere and use the JooJoo to watch a show. I wonder if I'll be able to use a remote desktop function with it. I'm going to look very closely at this.
FYI some of the Sony TV's will allow you to pull media from PC's on your network. I have a 42" Bravia on the wall in my bedroom and just finished hardwiring it to the network. Pretty sweet, but the only down side is that media center or iTunes has to be running on the loacl machine of the TV can't see it.
Looks like the JooJoo may be able to do all the same stunts without wires or external players running.
Hmmm... ------------- |
