8.04 and 8.10 have worked well with both integrated Ati graphics and X1800 GTO which replcaed 6800 GT I had. I have had no problems with either brand. nVidia being Linux friendly is soon a myth, thanks to nVidia closed drivers vs. Ati open community drivers for linux. In that case the ECS A780GM-A ...

Thanks for the recommendations and fast responses.
Hey, that old build is MY computer, she can't have that.

edit: Hum, I like AMD, but it looks like the 780G chipset was built for ATI integrated graphics, so either way I may need to go with a video card.

I am looking for a good motherboard (with onboard video) or motherboard/video card combo for an EdUbuntu build for my daughter, so it doesn't need to be a screamer. I already have an Antec Sonata Designer 500 case so I am can use either ATX or mAtx and would like to keep the price down, but want rel...

I ended up picking up the Sonata Designer with free shipping for $99.99 after rebate from NewEgg. Good things come to those who wait

Why such an old board? M2N-VM/DVI is out too, and it's based on the newer nForce 7050PV chipset.

I usually start looking based on reviews and verified linux support, but I will consider that one also.

Which low cost, integrated video mAtx motherboard for Ubuntu linux?

ASUS M2NPV-VM
Most expensive option.

Gigabyte GA-MA69VM-S2
ATI is not as well supported as nvidia in Linux.

PC Chips PC CHIPS A13G+
No user review stating that it works with linux, but based on chipset it should work.

How much is enough and how to judge that before ordering? I'm trying to find the best L775 motherboard for use with a Ninja and quite possibly an HR-03 would have to fit as well, so space is needed on both sides of the CPU socket (and the chipset heatsink can't be too tall either). For the ninja yo...

What motherboard did you go with?
Are you happy with it?

Doesn't anyone have a system using this case that they are happy with?

Looking to build on the Antec NSK-3480 and looking for a passive, inexpensive motherboard. I prefer AMD, but any processor new or old will be sufficient.

Thanks,
Don V.

While the layout is the same, the p150 has a steardier construction (1mm steel vs 0.8) and the capability of suspending your hdd`s without modification. The nsk4480 is still a perfectly decent case but given your history I would recommend the p150 :) Yep, looks like it will be the P150 (Sonata Desi...

Anyone used both the P150/Solo and the NSK4480? I love my P150 but am looking for a good budget case for building kids computers. Of course, I always end up regretting it when I go the cheaper route. Thanks, Don V. edit - Thanks for the comments. Perhaps I should include the NSK3480? It looks to be ...

can you compare the silicon mounting with the rubber and elastic now that you tried all? I didn't use the rubber suspension system because of all the posts with dropped hard drives, so I installed using the silicon grommets. Since the silicon grommets have been very quiet I haven't felt any need to...

This build went really well. The hardest part was installing the Scythe Ninja. All the parts worked seemlessly without tweeking and I am running Ubuntu Linux. The Antec P180 came with the old rubber suspension system so I installed using the silicon grommets and it is very quiet. Antec sent the elas...

It is not passive, but what about these new Cooljag Falcons they have heat sensitive fan speed:

crispyfish wrote:(P.S. You do realize you can place the fan on any of the 4 sides, right?)

Ahh, I see I read that part of the directions too quickly as I wanted to try passive first.
Yes, it will fit with the option of placing the fan on any of the four sides.

Now if something fails tomorrow...don't blame us. :lol: No flaming, I promise :wink: Thanks for all the feedback, I feel much better now. This is my first build and I didn't realize quite how BIG the Ninja is. I ended up being lucky that it fit and I am hoping that it will be cool enough fanless on...

Well, I'm guessing that since the other side butts up right next to the copper fins of the motherboard heatsink, that it will probably be okay...

Other people with Ninja installation problems, was it just because it was physically obstructed?

I am installing the Scythe Ninja Revision B on the ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe motherboard. There is only a couple mm clearance between the copper pipe on the Ninja and one of the capacitors (? small cylindrical thing). Does anyone know if this will cause a problem?

Thanks

With a combo deal with the Spinpoint it is actually cheaper, guess that's a no brainer - thanks.

This drive is going in an eMac so I can't use a PCI adapter.

The converter looks interesting if the reviews weren't so bad.

So should I expect the same acoustics from the IDE version of the spinpoint?

how about the 320Gb drives? I would go with one of those over a 400GB drive and personally 2x320gb for me is preferable to the single 500gb but that's a tough call I can only use a single hard drive in this application and would also like to keep the energy consumption low. that said.....I'd probab...
