Ok i havent built anything for 3 years and now my asus a7n8x-e + amd have blown , So looking for advice for mobos + cpus
and whats best amd or intel
only have 130 to spend on mobo+amd as will get the other bits later

main requirements are Stability dont have to be ultrafast as nerver overclocked all i do is video editing and satellite programming and mp3 serving in a mirc room the asus a7n8x/e did the job perfect
in the order of importance

2 ide 133 slots
4 raids
2 to 3 pci slots
and a serial port on back (as i do a lot of programming)

been looking at abit kn9 and 3800 so far

would consider a good used a7n8x +3200 chip if anyone has one real cheap gathering dust in there cupboard lol

and thanks for letting me join the forums
 
I know nothing out of mine will fit in the new setup so need 256 card new memory and 24 pin power supply
Building from start slowly as just lost job
looking at whats good and whats the CR*P to avoid
also like it be as silent as possable as the woman moans
 
thats the biggest prob as i do have raid 2 hard drives reading as one so i guess better get another a7nx and a 1 500 gig drive just to back up all the data or can i get a board with the same controller as the a7n had
