Recommend a shop to purchase from (in the US)? I have a ASUS A7V400-MX. I use it for a router and it works rather nicely, but does run unusually hot for some reason. Got a 1.3GHz Durron in it and it runs at 64C idle, with the case open and a good heat sink. As for a place to shop, I've found newegg.com to be nice.
