I'm throwing around some ideas in my head, I'm thinking I'm going to try to build a mid-range budget Lanbox or Mini-tower. There was this nice Silverstone mATX case I was looking at that takes normal ATX PSUs. it's a little much at $114.99 though. I know that most mATX's have integrated VGA, I'm thinking of getting a cheapie HD 3850 or 8800GS.
And I know that putting "l33t hax comp" and "matx" in the same sentence is stupid, but I'm going to try for it anyways. I need a mobo that can get a e2140 to 3.0 GHZ easily, and remotely future proof, so that I can get a Wolfdale or Yorkfield should the need arise.
Candidates:
Gigabyte GA-G33M-S2L ~99.99
Asus P5k-VM ~118.99
Asus P5E-VM ~134.99
O great sagacious ones of THF, helpeth me out!
Once I get some feedback I'll make a thread with the rest of my build's peices in the New Build forum.
