I've had good luck with Tyan. I've always heard Asus built good mobos, but have never tried one. My favorite (but never run OBSD on it) is a microATX board built by Biostar - M7NCG 400 (< $65 @ pricegrabber). It's got sound, graphics & networking built-in, and uses an Athlon processor. I put mine in an Antec 'Aria' case which has a nifty little CF slot on the front panel. It's not a server-class mobo, but I think it makes a great low-cost, lightweight desktop. Jay
