    Good Overclocking mATX Motherboard?

    Im looking to build an SFF PC and im abit unsure of what motherboard to get.
    Ill be running it with an AMD 64 X2 4400+ with 2 gig of OCZ ram and an ATI X1900 XT.

    Can anyone reccomend any good motherboards for this set up that are reasonable for overclocking?

    All those top spec parts would run hot in a sff perhaps look for a socket 939 shuttle as a bare bones.

    Do the shuttles run much cooler than an SFF?

    I got an Aspire X-Qpack, and am generally very happy with it.
    Yes, the above components will run hot, but you still be fine, especially if you exhaust the GPU heat straight out the back rather than recirculate it inside.
