Ive caved and bagged an P5L-MX and E4300. I notice that the gigabyte board above has vmods, so don't get your hopes up that you will meet those clocks.
P5L-MX with google checkout discount F T W
Ive done w/cing full towers etc, and now I want something smaller than my PC6 series LL, so im setting up.
E4300 (Scythe Ninja with YateLoon D12SL12)
Asus P5L-MX
2x1gb G.Skill PC6400C4
7800GT (Arcitc silencer)
Silverstone TJ08 fans replaced with YateLoon D12SL12 @ 5v
OCZ 520w Modstream
160gb + 250gb Samsung SATA2
Hopefully as quiet as I hope it will be
Even at 2.4ghz (for example) a C2D will be plenty fast enough in all honesty, i think people sometimes get a bit carried away with overclocking, and lose sight of all the compromises you have to make to get the speed. Full ATX case, noisy etc etc.

GA-G33M-DS2R
Right,
Got me one of these, popped it in my Sugo and what a job to get it in, any all working and posted straight to 310fsb.
The reason i did this becasue this was the max of my Asrock 945DVI. i will leave this on over night and see if its stable. no doubt it will be
Then be a bit more adventurous tomorrow. Anyway, i do recommend this board for quality compared to the Asrock offering!!

And there's one in the B-grade section at the moment under £30.
Soldato
can get it brand new through google checkout for £40, will have to see how much that one is with postage thanks!
£7 difference for b-grade or new, might aswell go with the new just as I always have problems with ever windows build I've ever made, windows hates me!
