Motherboard Suggestions

[Todd]

Thanks. I don't want to go down the line of HP, Dell etc. I was looking 
for something that I could order online that is complete minus the 
operating system or if it cheap enough just override what it comes with.

Failing that I would like to compile a list of hardware parts that I 
would have someone build for me.

This mobo has been brought to my attention and for under $100 is seems 
to have a lot of features, has anyone had experience with it? I was 
wondering if the NVIDIA Gb LAN controller would be a issue.
