What do you guys think of this mb? EPoX "EP-8KDA3J"
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...pe=Refurbished

I'll be water cooling and looking to oc in future. Will be using a 64 2.8 cpu. I like the price and the features. I went overbudget and purchased more than I can handle.

yah dood go for it! i have an EPOX 8RDA3+ and it works great, i have an AMD 2500 @1.8 GHZ (locked chip) just make sure that you have enough wattage for the PSU!! 400 500 should be good enough, or if not that much them say 600!

Ultra 400 psu!

I think i'll get it. Well, lemme wait a lil while more.. see if someone brings me to a screeching halt.

i saw.. i asked.. i purchased.. i received.. i installed (the epox mb) so far so good. only thing that gave me trouble was the agp settings and drivers and all this bs with my sapphire 9800pro but I got around it. the ultra psu has behaved so far, i have no complaints other than the x-connect cables can b a pain in the culo to bend around and hide.
