WOW,
there is an Asus pundit with motherboard for only $115 at newegg.

It looks like the PCI expansion slots are half height though. But
still, great price.
I was trying to decide between an Overture II and a Sonata II myself,
and decided on a Sonata. One reason is because my board is full ATX, so
getting my case to fit in the tiny entertainment center I have is
impossible (it's hard to get even a regular sized VCR in there). When I
rebuild my mythtv machine one day though, I'll probably go for a pundit,
if they're still around and this cheap. The entertainment center is
black, so having the black sonata sitting just beside it right below the
TV actually is plenty fine.
