That's a big motherboard, why not go micro ATX? Do you think you'll need all the slots of a full size board? Since it's an HTPC you may want to be able to go to a smaller case in the future. Do you really need the add-on video card? I'd go for an integrated one, should play video at 1080p just fine,...

The company is avadirect dot com (apparently my newbieness doesn't allow me to post links). Can you go dual monitors with this mobo? CUSTOM COMPUTER,...

how did the Asus M2NBP-VM CSM go with your linux of choice? Everything pretty much worked right out of the box with SUSE 10.1. (I also tried Kubuntu Dapper which didn't recognize the SATA HD, though I'm sure that newer versions would.) The only thing I had to tweak was to edit a config file to work...

The only issue I ran into during the Ubuntu install is that when I selected LVM with guided partitioning the install hung at Configuring xserver-xorg-video-tga.

It will be used for web browsing and email most of the time, however I will need to do some software development and network simulation, and that involves running a guest OS in vmware or Xen. One of my main motivations is to build an ...
