So many Gigabyte mainboards 

I've no complaints with this one at all.
I might would even recommend one to a friend.

The new laptop running in a Live session.  Will update once I'm done playing around with partitioning schemes!

Here's my first custom built box, from about a month ago. Previously, I had a dual-core Athlon 64X2 HP, which has lasted for about 4 years. It'll now be my roommates. I wanted at least a quad core for the build, and couldn't pass up the 6 core when I saw it. I'm of modest means and the tax refund would only go so far   I went with the ECS mobo, just because the HP had one, and I knew it could take an environmental beating.
