I'm currently looking at DFI Lanparty UT RDX200CF-DR (review) unless anyone can point me in another direction.

go for nvidia and not ebuyer they have the worst customer service ever and charge stupid amount of postage
id recomend the dfi sli-dr
or the new version if ur willing to spend the money
I agree don't go with ebuyer or the ati crossfire, at the moment nvidia is best value for money
eBuyer does have some of the worse customer service around but they have good postage charges that are usually around.Quote:

better than free at SCAN? ;)Quote:

ok rant over (I had the same issue on the same thread topic.)
If you are going to run crossfire then that is a very good board although there are some questions regarding the USB performance due to the type of south bridge DFI use on that board (compared with the equivalent NF4) - it would be a toss up between the DFI and Sapphire gruper crossfire board (not sure that's available yet) if your friend was into getting the maximum overclock out his cpu.
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=81379 has some info by users.
The real question I believe you should be asking your friend is, "does he want to go the crossfire route or the SLi route" this will then determine his choice of board.
P.S bought a few things from Ebuyer - never had a problem although delivery is slow.
I'm on my way to take advantage of that :rockon:Quote:

Atm I think that the only Crossfire boards available are the DFI. I've heard good that the Crossfire are a bit better than the NF4s and the audio on them is amazing.Quote:

Don't think i'd order a mobo from the moon though, shipping could be pricey...

Scan don't sell DFI S939 boards.Quote:

tbh going by DFI-Street, HardOCP & a couple of other forums/sites I don't think that I would touch the DFI Lanparty UT RDX200CF-DR at the moment.Quote:
