I've had good luck with Tyan boards in the past. But custom and retail often have very different BIOS images. Even if the boards are substantially indentical. I'm sticking with the AM2 platform for a couple reasons: 1. Budget. I'd like to reuse as many parts I have on hand as possible. This is a personal project, not "company money". 2. Energy - The BE-2300 is a 45 watt chip. Here in Texas, every watt imported has to be forceably removed from my den 10 months out of the year. Some of the mid teir Core 2's have similar effeciencies, and it would likely be a wash if I didn't already have the chip.
