Well, I am writing this email on the asus based mpx solution. I had quite some trouble with this board. First, there is no usb on board, so you will need ps2 mouse and keyboard. Second, the usb 2.0 controller they send with the board hangs it. I.e. once you put the board in, I won't even see the bios screen - total freeze. Even if the board they send you works, it does not have a bios extension, so you wont be able to install with a usb keyboard - again, you will need ps2 hardware. other than that, my ps2 plugs go off line when the board get placed into a computer case. So while testing the system on an insulated surface, everything works. once the board is placed into a computer case, you wont have access to your ps2 outlets. I eventually traces this to a problem when the mounting holes are grounded. When I insulated the mounts and mounting screws from the computer case, everything works fine. My frient has a tyan with no such problems....your mileage may vary. Hope that helps.
