Please reccomend a new motherboard for me

[edgemeister]

HiThere.

I had an Abit Dark Raider and about an hour agoit died on me.

Windows had just loaded and *poof*, everything turned off. When powering on the pc, all the fans were going but no bleeps. Went though the usual BIOS reset routine and RAM swapping to no avail.

I was wondering if someone could reccomend a good, robust motherboard for me to use in my media centre pc. It has the following main components:

Intel Quad Core Q6600 SLACR
Nvidia GeForce 8800GT
Corsair XMS 26400
Corsair 650w PSU

I don't need a sound card or onboard graphics, and I don't believe I'll be requiring onboard firewire support.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

John

everything comes down to price you want to pay...

Hey there, thanks for replying...

Well I'd rather not pay a ton of money, and overclocking is something that I don't need.

I'm looking for something at a resonable price that seems robust and is compatible with my current hardware... Something along the same price as the dark raider perhaps?

Regards,

John

Abit IP35 Pro/XE

or

ASUS p5q/p5k (or a minimum of p5e if you are overclocking)

I got a P5Q PRO with a similar setup, and it is great so far. About £88 from scan
