Havent really seen anyone else use this board, but I have had good luck with it so far http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWeb/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?DetailID=506&MenuID=90&LanID=0 Its a micro ATX formfactor with built in video and the onboard NIC is a realtek. (Although its not the fastest NIC, its driver is stable and mature-- especially compared to the headaches people seem to have with the NVIDIA NICs.) sos@freebsd.org recently also added ata driver support for the chipset as well so the disks function at speeds you would expect. Right now I am running with a PATA drive in a 2U case. Compared to the Intel D830, the CPU and chipset are cold to touch! The box is a part of a spam/virus scanning cluster and its performance is pretty close to that of the D830, but with less power and heat. Now that the drive is functioning in the same mode as the D830 box, we will see what sort of real world results we get from the 2 boxes.
