I was thinking of buying this mobo as I don't need all the extras on the deluxe models, anyone got this already? what do you think?

[project187]

is it the sli model?

[Pazza]

No, but here is the spec (below) and it's £65.00. I didn't want to go OTT as I'm not really a huge gaming person - just like to play now and then and just want a good base unit for around £400.
