HELP ME PICK A MOBO

[aevm]

I would be very concerned about the open box. There's another x1950xt at newegg for $168 - definitely worth the additional $12 to know it's a new product and under warranty.

BTW, the x1950xt could definitely use an aftermarket cooler.

Some links are broken, but I figured them out. Very nice. Here's an alternative for RAM, save a few bucks.

With the MIR that's a great deal on the Crucial. For less than $1000 that should be an outstanding system, I think you'll be quite happy.

The final product choices look good.

Any particular reason for the DS3L over the IP35-E?
Specs are near as identical & the IP35-E is $20 cheaper after rebate.
