    The S939 microATX is almost non-existent. The Foxconn's (all three) use some variation of the NF4. There are no NF3 boards to my knowledge.

    The Foxconn boards are not bad but don't overclock very well. Also, microATX PSU's are quite limited which further hurts overclocking. The 350 watt TOPOWER and the Enermax 270 watt are the two best SFF ATX supplies I've seen. I use them both.

    Storm want to use the Aspire X-QPACK - Is it only mATX mobos I can look at? Cheers.

    Would have thought there would be a decent mATX out there which can handle OCing and have the features which would support future dual core processors.

    Yes it's mATX only.

    I love those cases. The only thing is the PSU. It's only got 15 amps on the +12. I like to see at least 20-22 amps. If you don't go too crazy on the videocard it should be ok.

    MSI has a mATX motherboard that is good if you don't overclock at all. It's the ATI chipset though.

    The board makers are really dragging their feet on the mATX S939 boards. The only NF4 available is the Winfast (sometimes sold under other names). There are many ATI chipset boards but I have not seen any that overclock well. It really sucks.

    Are you motherboard manufacturers reading? Hey I have an idea...MAKE A DAMN mATX BOARD THAT OVERCLOCKS WELL!!!!!!!!! YOU'LL MAKE A FORTUNE!!!
