I will be getting <A HREF="http://www.falcon-nw.com/fragbox.asp" target="_new">this case</A> with the AMD Athlon64 3000+ Socket 939, 1 GB Ram, 2 36GB 10,000rpm WDHD's, and either the 6800 GT or Ultra. Cant for the life of me figure what motherboard to get that will fit in this case. Anyone have any experiance with it or know what I need for sure? If you have any suggestions as to why I shouldnt get something I am considering buy please let me knwo and why.


BTW Reason for not haveing them do it is about $800 saved
 
I would go with one of the 74GB Raptors instead of two of 36GB. If you're thinking RAID0 with the two 36GB, then start reading in the Anandtech HDD section on RAID0.

Why are you going with a SFF case with a high-end gaming system? How are you even going to get the case without buying the system? Anywhoo, Falcon probably has a mobo mfr make a micro ATX board to their specs. Not familiar with good micro ATX boards, So I won't comment there...

Good luck on finding the right board for your system!

How the hell did you get there so fast? Are you related to Arnold?
