I used a drill and jig saw to cut holes in my cases. The drill and a 1/2" bit to cut the pilot hole and the jig saw to cut the 120mm hole. I drew the outline of the hole on the case then covered it with clear shipping tape to prevent scratching the case....and it allows you to easily see the...
I don't worry about the dust. I used to use fiberglass filters on my intakes but found that the reduced airflow caused slightly higher temps and some dust still got inside. Now I just unhook my system, take it outside about every 2 or 3 months and blow it out with an air compressor. It only...
I guess I got lucky with my board. I am limited in top end voltage just like everyone else, but what I have is stable. I have it set at 1.45 and it fluctuates between 1.46 and 1.42. An acceptable range to me. I have seen no network issues (although I did download the latest driver from the...
Well I got it downloaded and installed but it doesn't work. It shows me the current CPU speed, some temps and cpu fan speed but other than that everything is grayed out. Unable to use N.O.S., or make any configuration changes at all.

Picked it up from eWiz for $101 + shipping
whew! I'm glad that's over. I hate shopping for motherboards. I spend more time researching and agonizing over making the right decision with them than with any other component.
ok.. I can go eat now.........and see if...
Ryan,
Thanks for the feedback. Very helpful information. I have been leaning toward buying this board...if I lean anymore I'm going to fall :)
Guess I need to go see who has it in stock.
Ryan,
I see you have the Asus A8R-MVP; how do you like that board?

thanks
I have narrowed my motherboard choices down to these two (ASUS A8R-MVP or Abit AN8 Ultra). Would like your feedback on which you think would be the best choice.
