James,


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.


Cheers,
