I’m having a friend build me a computer, and he’s found someone who can get this MLB wholesale with an employees discount, so I can get it cheap. I’m not an expert on motherboards, so though it looks good and like it can handle what I have in mind for it, I may be overlooking something.

Any time I buy computer stuff, I do a few Google groups searches for the product name and then a word like “problem”, “error”, or “help”. I can’t recommend doing this enough – it’s saved me countless hours of frustration.
This is a well-regarded mobo. In fact, it’s at the top of my short list for my new PC, and if your friend could get me a good price on it too… 
Seriously!
There aren’t too many 875 chipset mobos out there yet. (Intel’s new 800 MHz FSB)
My other primary contender is Intel’s own reference board.
Be sure you can take it back to the store if you need to…
How much?
Yeah, it’s great! Lots of really smart, open-minded people, and a really good sense of communi…
Ohhhh… motherboard.
Nevermind. 
Oops… I’m withdrawing my reccomendation of the MSI 875 NEO-FIS2R mobo. It’s also been unceremoniously dumped from my "short list"of choices to buy for my new PC.
Seems there’s been an inordinate number of problems with it, and that MSI is pulling a “fast one” and strayed from Intel’s specs for the 875 chipset.
For what it’s worth, I’m back to Intel’s D875PBZ board. Maximum PC magazine gave it a “Kick Ass” rating. Closing comments in the print article: “…fastest stock performance available…and the rock-solid Intel name.”
