You should check out Maximum PC. Great mag that is in favor of power, no matter who makes it. They really like gtames as well so I have found their reviews to be pretty helpful. Online they list the top product they have reviewed for each category, but you have to buy the mag to get the most out of it.

here is the mobo that i just got from newegg after a lot of research... has better ratings than many Abit and Asus similar boards

www.dfi.com.tw/Product/xx_product_spec_details_r_us.jsp?PRODUCT_ID=1524&CATEGORY_TYPE=null

the extras included are amazing... round cables.. lan party strap..

It can attach ATA Raid, SATA,

It has two Lan/ethernet inputs for lanparties

It has simple things like power on/off switch on the MOBO so you cantest.

Multiple Bios settings you can save.. to start up in "gaming mode" (maybe overclocked) or "safe mode" (no overclocking) for example

I added a Barton 2500 and 1024 3200 ram and I am smoken

In RvS (a notorious system whore) I am getting 140-160 fps average.. with a 9700 pro
