RE: Planning to get a new computer
Hmm, P43/P45 motherboards cost around the same - probably get one of those instead.

Here's 4 motherboards I'm thinking about:
Asus P5Q-SE ExpGate S775 P45 DDR2 FSB1600 PCIE2.0 GBLAN ATX  ($130)
MSI P43-NEO-F Intel P43 Chipset 1600MHz DDR2 1066 PCI-E x16 SATAII RAID GLAN USB2.0 8-Ch Audio ATX  ($99)
Gigabyte GA-EP43-DS3 P43+ICH10 DDR2 1200 1600 (O.C)MHz FSB PCI-E 2.0 SATAII GLAN 8Ch Audio 1394 ATX  ($110)
Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3L P43+ICH10 DDR2 1200 1600  ($125)

Bit poo poo that all of them only have one Ethernet port - can't really connect to ADSL and a LAN at the same time without buying new equipment >_>
Otherwise, the MSI one looks a bit lacking in features, the 2nd Gigabyte one I probably won't get, so it's between the ASUS and the cheaper Gigabyte one then...

I think you should buy the components and build you're own motherboard.
