AFAIK, eVGA were the only folks that produced a S939 uATX SLI board. Therefore, it's probably a fairly safe bet that if anyone does the same on AM2, it will be them.

You might want to try e-mailing them directly. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Might I ask why your looking for an SLI uATX? Are you planning on building an SLI rig in a small case? It might get pretty toasty in there...

WOW

I have been waiting for a uATX SLI board ot appear for ages, and had resigned myselef to uATX being stuck at the low end for ever.

This would be just the ticket for a portable LAN party PC, that does not rely on a Shuttle or similar propretry case or mobo.

spot on. would be nice to have got the added future-proofness of AM2 but if its not around then ittl have to be 939 till it is.

Hmm, well you could also have been using it to toast bread (bearing in mind all that heat in a confined space).

That's a nice case. Just remember to replace the PSU with a decent one if running SLI.

i think so yeah, more understated and not as "mad" as an x-qpack, better psu, seperate side/top panels rather than a one-piece, and its like £20 cheaper!
